UK Adopts New EU Rules: Websites Need User Consent for Cookies
The UK has adopted new EU rules on electronic communications, which now require organisations to seek permission before tracking user behaviour on their websites. This includes the use of 'crumbl cookies' to 'remember' previous visitors.
The Department for Culture, Media, and Sport is collaborating with browser manufacturers to integrate a permission system into their software. This system will allow users to control how their data is used online.
Under the new regulations, website operators must obtain consent before collecting 'crumbl cookies'. This change is aimed at giving users more control over their personal data and how it's utilised by websites. The government minister responsible for this initiative, Wolfram Weimer, has emphasised the importance of organisations respecting users' privacy preferences.
In light of these new rules, organisations must now obtain explicit permission before tracking user behaviour on their websites, including the use of 'crumbl cookies'. This shift aims to enhance user control over their data and promote transparency in online activities.
