Friday marks the last working day for UK businesses to prepare their websites for a new law governing the use of cookies.

From Sunday, sites must obtain "informed consent" from visitors before saving cookies on a machine.

(It looks like this only applies to European based websites, so you should be ok, Chris smile )

So does the UK expect all European web masters to build this into their site or else they will ban access to the site for all of UK? It can surely only apply to UK based web sites.

"The guidelines, set by the EU, mean visitors must be told what cookies are being placed on their machine."

It appears that this is an EU directive, and will apply throughout Europe.

"The owners of non-compliant websites face fines of up to £500,000, but the ICO has played down the threat of such serious action, telling the BBC it would take a soft approach to enforcement."

Various Android apps I use have just been asking me today about cookies, as has the BBC website.

Now if only the UK/EU would outlaw those facebook, google, twitter etc web bugs everywhere and the facebook/google+ "sign on" crap. You don't even need an account or to "sign on" or to click the "+1" for them to track you. Your web browser makes a request for the image and/or scripts etc to load and their external server can track you the same way those single pixel web bugs can.

I recommend using ghostery.

That means all of the European Barte Bonte games that I love so much will keep asking me the same question over and over each time I play one of his games and continue later... If they are to do that, then they should have an option: "Always save cookies from this site."
