To be compliant with the new cookie law, introduced by the ICO in May 2011, businesses have to demonstrate that they are actively seeking website visitors’ permission to place cookies on their viewing device, therefore instigating an opt-in process for cookie placement.

This presentation explains a little about why the law has come about and what website owners need to do to comply.

  • Brandboost Brandboost at Brandboost @micahherstand You make a good point, thank you for your comment. You are right to say that cookies rarely contain passwords but nevertheless the fact that cookies can be stolen has always been a concern of the legislators. We designed this presentation to be easily understandable and therefore we never intended to get into detail about hashed passwords or any other particularly technical point. It was also our desire to make this presentation easy to access and easy to understand that led us to choose the snippet of screenshot we used to illustrate the point. The presentation went down very well when we gave our talk on the cookie law and we decided to share with a wider audience based on the feedback we received. Thank you again for your comment and for taking the time to watch our slideshow. 10 months ago

  • micahherstand Micah Herstand, Web Developer, Research Assistant at Washington University in St. Louis 'Cookies containing passwords can be stolen' Cookies (almost) never contain passwords. Banks would especially never store a password in a cookie. If the user checks that box in your example it would store a session id, that would only be valid as long as the user was logged-in. If they were logged-out it would stop being a security risk. 10 months ago
