Background

The Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 implemented a European Directive - 2002/58/EC - which is concerned with the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector. In 2009 this Directive was amended by Directive 2009/136/EC. This included a change to Article 5(3) of the E-Privacy Directive requiring consent for storage or access to information stored on a subscriber or users terminal equipment – in other words a requirement to obtain consent for cookies and similar technologies. From 25 May 2018 the General Data Protection Regulation (2018 Act) came into force. It says that consent for data processing has to be given by users through a "clear affirmative action" and it must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. It is harder to satisfy these consent requirements and means that the user should be given a real choice about which cookies, other than strictly necessary cookies, are used when they browse the website.
