What is the problem?
The EU have passed a new law that went into effect on Thursday 26th May 2011 which requires companies to get an opt-in from users when they visit their website for the use of cookies.
How does it affect me?
Most of our customers use Google Analytics. You would require an “opt in” for utilising this service. We do also use a “session level cookie” which is anonymous and not covered by the “opt in” rule. There would however need to be some changes to the site's terms and conditions.
How do I fix this issue?
Boxharry have developed a widget that can sit on any page in your website. This informs users of the types of cookies used and gives them the option to “opt in” to third-party cookies or turn them off.
What happens if I’m not compliant?
The ICO have released guidance (09/05/2011) which states:
“The government’s view is that there should be a phased approach to the implementation of these changes. In light of this, if the ICO were to receive a complaint about a website, we would expect an organisation’s response to set out how they have considered the points above and that they have a realistic plan to achieve compliance. We would handle this sort of response very differently to one from an organisation which decides to avoid making any change to current practice. The key point is that you cannot ignore these rules.”
