European Union’s Cookie Law

European laws mandate that digital publishers inform visitors about their use of cookies and local storage on sites and apps. In many cases, these laws also require obtaining consent.

The Cookie Law is a piece of privacy legislation that requires websites to obtain consent from visitors before storing or retrieving any information on their devices, such as computers, smartphones, or tablets. This legislation aims to protect online privacy by increasing user awareness of how their information is collected and used online and empowering them to make informed choices about data collection.

It started as an EU Directive adopted by all EU countries in May 2011. The Directive gave individuals the right to refuse cookies that reduce online privacy. Each country then updated its laws to comply. In the UK this meant an update to the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.

What are cookies?

Cookies are pieces of data, normally stored in text files, that websites place on visitors’ computers to store a range of information, usually specific to that visitor – or rather the device they are using to view the site – like the browser or mobile phone.

They were created to overcome a limitation in web technology. Web pages are ‘stateless’ – meaning they have no memory, and cannot easily pass information between each other. So cookies provide a kind of memory for web pages.

Cookies allow you to log in on one page and remain logged in as you navigate to other pages. They also enable you to set display preferences for a page, which are remembered the next time you visit.

Cookies can also be used to watch the pages you visit between sites, allowing advertisers to build a picture of your interests. Then when you land on a site that shows one of their adverts – they can tailor it to those interests. This is known as ‘behavioral advertising’.

Almost all websites use cookies in some way or another, and every page you visit on those sites writes cookies to your computer and receives them back from it.

Cookies are beneficial as they enable modern websites to function with increasing personalization and rich interactive features.

However, they can also be used to manipulate your web experience in ways you might not expect, or like. It could be to your benefit, or the benefit of someone else – even a business or organization you have never had direct contact with or perhaps heard of.

It is impossible to tell by looking at them whether particular cookies benefit you or another party. You must rely on the website you visit to tell you how it uses cookies.

Third-party cookies

When visiting a website you may receive cookies from the visited site (first part), both sites run by other organizations (third parties). Notable examples are “embedded” videos or “social plugins” from social networking services. These are parts of the page visited generated directly from these sites and integrated into the host page. The most common use is aimed at content sharing on social networks.

The presence of these plugins entails the transmission of cookies to and from all sites managed by third parties. Their policies govern third-party information management, so please refer to them. To ensure greater transparency and convenience, We report below the web addresses of several informative procedures for managing cookies.

It also includes certain components from Google Analytics, a web traffic analysis provided by Google. Even in this case, third-party cookies are collected and handled anonymously to monitor and improve the performance of the host site (cookie performance).

Google Analytics can gather and analyze anonymous information about usage patterns. This information is collected by Google Analytics, which allows them to draw reports on the websites themselves. This site does not use (and does not allow third parties to use) the Google Analytics tool to track or collect personal identification information. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google nor try to connect an IP address with the identity of a user. Google may also communicate this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.
