I've been pretty busy over
recent months and will be for sometime to come reviewing my customers
websites for compliance with the European Union E-Privacy Directive.
The EU E-Privacy Directive has been referred to by a
number of other names, not all of them pleasant but one of the best known is the
"EU Cookie Law". The introduction of this directive is why you may have noticed
more and more websites asking for permission to use cookies.
As of May 26 2012, any
website available to European visitors must comply with the EU E-Privacy
Directive. This very much criticised piece of legislation is
going to be something of a nuisance to many website owners and
developers but
fortunately the impact on my pevisoulsy developed websites is going to
be quite small. All the same the extra work is going to be something of a
distraction
