Hi Gang,
I am new to the forum. Did anyone see this? New net rules set to make cookies crumble
How are we going to know if we are complying with the law or not? I guess we will have to have permission forms and its going to slow down the site and impact user experience.
Has anyone started to plan for this? If so, what are you doing?
The BBC article is exaggerating the issues somewhat, better to read this one
It’s only apparently going to affect the use of ad serving cookies, the ones that track you after you leave the site - personally I think it’s a good thing, as I find it infuriating to be tracked like that.
If you are just using login and cart cookies etc, then there shouldn’t be any issues to deal with.
There’s already an active topic on this very topic, so I’m closing this one.
Nothing personal, it’s just that two threads on the same subject at the same time doesn’t really work.
