This is the policy I've just posted - please feel free to copy any bits you find useful - any suggestions on things I've missed that are required for full EU compliance would be appreciated.
Cookie Policy
A particularly silly EU directive requires me to state if cookies are used on my web sites and what they do to invade visitor privacy etc. This is on a par with asking the Borgias if the food at their banquet contains nuts, since there are far more dangerous and intrusive technologies out there, but never mind...As always a reminder that I am no longer able to make changes to my old NTLWorld web site, and really don't know what goes on under the hood there, including cookies - PLEASE don't use it.
- To the best of my knowledge neither of the web sites I currently maintain use any cookies at all; I'm not actually competent to program them, and there would be no point since you don't have to log in etc. anyway.
- I can't make this statement for the web hosting company I use, Nativespace, they may be using cookies for some reason but I haven't asked them to.
- This news feed is an InsaneJournal blog, and they do use cookies for user registration etc.; I have no reason to believe they're doing anything nefarious with them.
