Cookie Law Update

You may remember our previous blog on the upcoming European Directive on the use of cookies.  The law applies to how you use cookies and similar technologies for storing information on a user’s equipment such as their computer or mobile device is changing on 26 May 2011.

In preparation for this the Information Commissioner has issued a new document that sets out these changes and explains what steps you need to take now to ensure you comply.

It is aimed at those organisations which are starting to think about how they will comply with the new rules.  It is a starting point forgetting compliant rather than a definitive guide.

To read this document go to the Information Commissioner's website -  http://j.mp/lq92br
