THAT'S THE WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLES: MAKING YOUR WEBSITE COMPLIANT

Is your website cookie-compliant?

 

Are you tracking the activity of your web visitors lawfully and ethically? Cookies are an essential part of most websites. They serve a range of functions, from analytics to advertising.

However, their use must align with privacy laws, which aim to protect individuals from unwanted tracking and unauthorised use of their personal data. Non-compliance with these laws, particularly the PECR and the ePrivacy Directive, can lead to fines and reputational harm. So how can your organisation maintain compliance to avoid these consequences?

 

This webinar will cover:

– Best practices for lawfully using cookies

– Examples of when organisations have failed to comply

– A look at the ICO’s guidance on cookie use

…and more!
