Not all cookies are double chocolate chip! The UK Cookie Law
The UK Cookie Law guides how websites use cookies. This has been updated over the last few years to address privacy concerns and give users more control over their data.
For website owners, following the UK Cookie Law involves:
- Clear Consent: Help users easily understand and agree to using cookies, being transparent about data usage.
- Regular Checks: Regularly review how cookies are used to match privacy rules.
- User Control: Let users pick which cookies they are okay with using a Cookies banner.
- Transparent Policies: Clearly explain in privacy policies how long cookies last, what data is collected, and why they are used.
Keep in mind, the digital world is always evolving. In 2024, big browser companies like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari plan significant changes. The most significant change is phasing out third-party cookies. Read more about the implications in this Mozilla Blog article.
Stay informed to keep your website privacy-friendly and up to date with the latest regulations! If you need any help with adding a Cookies banner to your site please do not hesitate to contact me on emma@emmapapper.co.uk .
