Charities fear new EU rules on website cookies will deter users | Third Sector: Website operators will have to get permission from users before putting cookies on computer systems

Charities are concerned about what new EU cookie laws will mean in practice and how they should comply.

From 26 May, all website operators must gain the consent of web users before putting cookies on their computer systems.

The rule stems from an EU directive that was passed in May last year, but UK operators were given a year’s grace to comply.
