THE COOKIESDIRECTIVE.JS - COOKIES DISCLOSURE FOR YOUR WEBSITE

CookiesDirective.js, what is it all about?  On 26 May 2011 the European Commission made the controversial 'Cookies Directive' law. It applies to the UK and all european countries. It mandates that the use of cookies on european businesses' websites must be disclosed and explicit consent for their use be obtained from your users. The Information Commissioner's Office has given UK businesses 12 months in which to achieve compliance.
Many people think this is a big step backwards, some that the legislation is so unworkable it will 'have' to be amended, but, as it stands, UK business websites will be required to make this disclosure from 26 May 2012. Fines of up to £500,000 could apply where businesses aren't following the law.
The good news is that cookiesDirective.js is a script you can easilly add to your website, which will take care of your cookie disclosure.
This script provides a mechanism for gaining explicit 'consent to cookies' from your users, as well as a facility to prevent the creation of non 'necessary' cookies (like those created by third party javascripts such as Google Analytics) before the user has given their consent.
