    Implementation of the suggested text from the

- this link no longer works.

    In line with recent changes in European legislation, UK law now requires website operators to ask 
    for a website user's permission when placing certain kinds of cookie on their devices for the first time.

    Where consent is required, the law states that it should be "informed consent". 
    This increases the onus on websites to ensure that visitors understand what cookies are and why website operators  and others want to use them.

    The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has published detailed guidance on the law.
    A number of other organisations have published information about the use of cookies by businesses.
