If you have a website, the chances are it uses cookies.
Those cookies are now subject to laws that require you to
disclose, and get consent for,
their continued use.
A cookie audit provides you with vital information about how
many cookies your website is setting on visitor's browsers and what
they do. It is an essential first step in making your website
compliant with online privacy regulations.
If you haven't taken that step, you cannot inform site visitors
or obtain their consent for cookies and other tracking
technologies. WIthout this, your website is breaking laws
design to protect all UK and EU citizens, and you are risking
enforcement action by regulators.
This could include fines of up to half a million
pounds for the most serious infringements of the law.
But even if you don't get fined, you risk enforcement action
from the regulators, and loss of trust from your visitors.
