Websites are being asked to review how they track users ahead of imminent changes to privacy laws.
On 26 May European privacy laws come in to force in the UK which give people more control over what data websites gather about them.
This means changes to what websites can do with cookies - small text files used to log data about repeat visitors.
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said sites need to be sure their cookies comply with the law.

Re: Websites told to ensure cookies comply with UK law
If the ICO is in charge of policing it you can be sure that websites and marketers will carry on just as they do now and flout any new laws with impunity.
