Businesses that have been rushing around, trying to find a solution to the vague new EU cookie laws that are coming in tomorrow, can breathe a sigh of relief, as the ICO states that websites have a full year to find a workable solution in gaining users consent before cookies are stored.
According to the BBC, the Government have set up a working group to work with browser manufacturers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome) to find a workable solution that runs cookie protection processes in the background.
This doesn't let everyone off the hook, however, as the ICO has stated that "Those who choose to do nothing will have their lack of action taken into account when we begin formal enforcement of the rules."
For more information, you can read the official ICO release and the official article on the Government's department for culture, media and sport website.
