New Rules On Cookies to Come Into Effect in Europe

Businesses are being urged to sort out how they get consent so they can keep on using cookies.The changes are demanded by the European e-Privacy directive which comes into force in the UK in late May.However, the directive is likely to have an impact on the more general use of cookies that remember login details and enable people to speed up their use of sites they visit regularly.It could mean that after 25 May, users see many more pop-up windows and dialogue boxes asking them to let sites gather data.
