Cookie law deferred for one year

UK websites are being given one year to comply with EU cookie laws, the Information Commissioner's Office has said.

The UK government also sought to reassure the industry that there would be "no overnight changes".

The EU's Privacy and Communications Directive comes into force on 26 May.

It requires user's consent before using cookies - the text files that help organise and store browsing information.

No - not these.

1. Since nearly every site uses cookies, that could be really cumbersome.

But having more control over cookies would be a good thing.

I would favor prohibiting sites from not loading content if a user has cookies blocked. Put the burden on the offenders, not the victims.
