New "Cookies" Law

Recommended Posts

I was reading yet another article on the new Cookies Law coming in (finally) June 2012.

Sites relying on cookies for their functionality (say, eCommerce sites ) are slated for exemption but only to the extent that the cookies are essential to that function (cart, wish-list, etc). I'm guessing that so long as the Cart summary appears on every page then CubeCart will require at least a Cart cookies on each page and as such, as soon as a site user places an item in their Cart a cookie will be generated.

I know too little about this to know whether this cookie will be persistent (to my understanding, persists across multiple browser sessions, or ...) or temporary (… does not).

But can I presume CC5 and updates will meet the requirements of EU and UK legislation in this regard, or are we as storeholders required to take our own legal/compliance advice?

With thanks,

Jules
