Cookie Policy and Guidance Notes
To comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) which regulate how personal data is collected and used, UK websites are required to have a Cookie Policy. These regulations aim to protect user privacy and ensure transparency. Websites must inform users of what cookies are used; obtain prior and explicit consent (not implied); provide granular control allowing users to select categories; and enable users to change consent.
How will the Cookie Policy Help?
The Cookie Policy acts as the legal and user-facing document on the website providing details of definitions (cookies and personal data); the types of cookies (strictly necessary, analytics, functionality, targeting etc.); the purpose and consent of each cookie; consent mechanisms and user control options; and instructions for changing browser setting. It includes template text for cookie consent prompts such as banners and pop-ups. The policy ensures compliance with the inform and consent legal requirements.
How will the Cookie Law Guidance Notes Help?
The Cookie Law Guidance Notes helps the website owner or operator make informed decisions when customising the Cookie Policy and the consent interface. It provides internal instructions and explanations covering the legal background and purpose of the cookie regulations; why browser settings and implied consent are insufficient; the steps required for a cookie audit - what cookies are used, what data they collect, how long they persist; how to design consent mechanisms - banner, pop-up or feature based; and best practice for transparency, user education and interface design.
What Other Related Documents are available within the Business Subscription?
In addition to a Cookie Policy businesses operating with websites (whether transactional, social media, information based or provision of online services) will require a number of other documents ranging from terms and conditions, terms of use, privacy policy and possibly website disclaimers.
