European Commission's Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive: 25 May 2012

The guidelines laid down by the EU are intended give consumers notice of personal data collection and intended use of data and to control how their data is being used.

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has said in an updated version of its advice for websites on how to use cookies  (small text files that are stored on the user's computer ) that websites can assume that users have consented to their use of them. The Guidance states that “The information Commissioner recognises that gaining explicit opt-in consent for analytic cookies is difficult and that implied consent might be the most practical and user friendly option”. This site therefore assumes that implied consent has been given.
