Cookies and UK law

In May 2011, cookie laws came into force in the UK that affect every UK websites.

If cookies are used in a website, the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) (Amendment) Regulations 2011 (UK Regulations) provide that certain information must be given to that website's visitors and the user must give their consent to the placing of the cookies.

What is a cookie? Why should I care?

It is basically covert spying (on you!). A cookie is a small text file downloaded onto your computer or smartphone when you accesses any website. It allows the website owners to recognise that user’s device (eg: laptop)and to store some information about the user’s preferences or past website browsing
