Hi I am creating a site for a client using WP, they are in the UK. Do I need to display a cookie policy on their website? Most sites in their niche don't but some do. Thank in advance. Dee
I Googled it, and ended up more confused than I had started out. Apparently some cookies are deemed non-essential, which don't require the users' consent, whereas some do. The article I read does say this, though: Who needs to comply with it? The law applies to all member states of the European Union. Websites outside of the EU must comply with the law if they are targeting people within member states. So a website based in the USA that sells to people in the UK will also have to comply. Here's the source I read: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2012-05/25/cookies-made-simple
