Eu Cookie Law Compliance

[adatema (Annedatema)]

Hi everyone,

On 26th May 2011 the Inform­a­tion Commissioner’s Office (ICO) brought in to affect new laws that required web­sites in the UK and EU to not store cook­ies on a user’s com­puter without first ask­ing permission.

Also the Dutch law has meet up to comply with EU law, since June of this year. Therefore I have to think about how implement this into websites/-apps I work on. I was hoping there would be an overall standard solution perhaps… Because a standard would be recognized easily by visitor’s and hopefully also embraced as an non-intrusive object on a website.

There are a few solutions already:

• http://civicuk.com/cookie-law/index

• http://www.wolf-software.com/tag-cloud/cookie+law/

• https://www.123privacy.nl/

Does anyone have some experience with one of the mentioned solutions? Or do you know another one? What is your experience?

With kind regards,

Ametad (Dutch)

I am going to use the first solution - Civicuk - haven’t gotten around to doing it yet.

It seems fairly unobtrusive.

Indeed, it seems nice and quiet.

There’s an extension for that (Yii1), developed by one of our fellow forum users (Bizley).

here you can download a jquery plugin that shows a message about the cookies
