But have there been any big changes in how websites are following protocol?

If you’re unaware, essentially, the law means that a website should warn or flag up the fact that cookies are being used to track visitors.

  • The inclusion of a link to a privacy policy.
  • A small notice that cookies are being used.
  • A prominent banner or pop up”.
