The UK Data Protection Act of 1998 will soon receive an alteration.

The amendment to the Data Protection Act will see cookie consent pop-ups – the box you see every time you visit our website – become a thing of the past, with websites automatically opting users into accepting ‘non-intrusive’ cookies, but will still have the ability to opt-out whenever they please.
