Just one week to comply with EU “Cookie Law”

18th May 2012

To anyone unfamiliar with internet terminology, phrases such as cookie law”, cookie policy” and cookie control” may sound like some bizarre April Fools joke. Unfortunately, this couldn’t be further from the truth – they all refer to one of the EU’s most misguided attempts to impose red tape on businesses at a time when they least need it.

Businesses and organisations have just a week to comply with the new EU “Cookie Law”. As we reported last month, the Information Commissioner (ICO) will begin enforcing the law on 26th May 2012, requiring websites to gain consent from visitors for the use of cookies.

Almost all websites use cookies, whether it be for tracking visitors for analytical purposes, login or e-commerce functionality, or social media plugins. Some websites may even use them for advertising.

But don’t worry – Hiltonian Media is here to help! We can hold your hand through the compliance procedure by performing a cookie audit on your website, writing a cookie policy for you, and implementing a mechanism for gaining consent from your valuable visitors. Call us now on +44 191 303 8 403 to find out  how we can help you towards compliance before it’s too late.
