In May 2012, the United Kingdom’s statutory adoption of the European Union (EU’s) Cookie Laws came into force. The effect of the law is that website operators must obtain the express consent for a cookie to be saved and used on a users computer. The law applies to organisations that host websites from within the EU and also to organisations based in the UK that host outside the jurisdiction.
