The cookie consent aspect of the law is just unenforceable at present, as echoed by the ICO. There is a lack of clear technical instruction on how to comply with the requirement, however any attempt to prepare to comply, by conducting a cookie audit and informing website consumers of cookie usage, is clearly a move in correct direction, a best practice to take. Other than that my recommendation is to just wait until the DMCS releases further information on the specific requirements against UK businesses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798604115389836864.post-11886818108941726322011-08-23T15:20:34.019+01:002011-08-23T15:20:34.019+01:00The fact that the ICO website operates a cookie bl...The fact that the ICO website operates a cookie blocking mechanism, clearly indicates that they think this is a requirement for compliance.<br /><br />Their guidance also states: <br /><br /><i>At present, most browser settings are not sophisticated enough to allow you to assume that the user has given their consent to allow your website to set a cookie.</i><br /><br />Which seem pretty clear to me. They also suggest pop-ups as a solution, and on the issue of changing terms and conditions state:<br /><br /><i>You then need to gain a positive indication that users understand and agree to the changes.</i><br /><br />I realise that pop-ups are not the only solution - but in many cases they are the most viable one.<br /><br />I also note that the ICC article you link to states that the requirement is <i>to seek positive consent from visitors to websites before allowing cookies to tag a visitor.</i><br /><br />As the vast majority of sites will set cookies like Google Analytics before the home page has finished loading, then blocking by default until consent is gained is the only option.<br /><br />The real challenge is then to find ways to engage and incentivise website visitors to accept your use of cookies - and this could well become the competitive advantage of those sites that take the lead on this issue.richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04117697131576567363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798604115389836864.post-43505255718776877622011-08-23T14:31:50.313+01:002011-08-23T14:31:50.313+01:00Thanks for your post.

Recently the EU's data protection supervisor laid into the EU commissioner behind the directive, accusing her of, basically, being too soft. If his line is indicative of where this directive is taking us, then cookie use could get tricky - it won't just be enough to inform.

The Directive does not what clarify how user consent must be obtained.<br /><br />Given that, I none of the UK government agencies/departments involved are even considering a solution which involves the website code blocking cookies prior to a user accepting it. They are viewing consent as providing clear information to users on cookie usage within websites, together with making web browser suppliers change default cookie settings.
