Cookie Law – coming your way!
Very quick note to highlight the fact that by 31st May under EU regulations all websites that use Cookies need to notify their users when they arrive.
Much has been written about this law and can be read on SilkTides excellent Blog (http://blog.silktide.com/tag/cookie-law/) also you can see more on http://nocookielaw.com/. I’ve embedded their excellent Video here as well.
Most of our websites use at the very least Google Analytics, the worlds foremost website statistics tool. And this website uses Cookies and so unless you add the relevant updates to your website technically you will be breaking the law.
The Solution
Without too finer a point the solution is to start complying with the law and that means updating your website making your customers aware that you’re using Cookies. But I would like to stress there is no hurry yet… these updates can be done when you’re ready… It is simply the point of this post to make you aware of what you should be doing and then doing it when you can.
Costs – A number of solutions have presented themselves from free to paid, it all depends how big your website is and whether you would like a hosted solution or something specific to your website. We’re happy to quote, but it is important to understand that if we can do this for free we will.
