Does your current cookie policy cover everything it should? Especially now with the new GDPR regs in effect, this is a good time for everyone with a website to re-evaluate their cookie & privacy statements.

While visiting a web-zine owned by Ziff Davis, I noticed they have beefed-up their cookie policy to cover just about everything.

may be that we should view this particular situation and context as a service to our clients. Whether they are old or new, they have trusted us and in return it would be our responsibility to inform them of the situation, if any, of the cost that a possible transformation (if necessary) could represent.

a little like, if the liquor salesman told us, listen, little guy, it seems to me you've gone well over the limit dose of stability when walking... you should revise your copy and slow down to keep your head clear

but once again, I am not talking about the law, but about the relationship of trust and the partnership we establish with our clients... advice and development have always gone hand in hand

In cases where I feel there is a close association with a client I would certainly keep them informed. I have several of those but I also have many more clients I don't liaise with for months at a time and the association is not such a strong bond and these things generally get left until the next time they need something updating. I expect any business to be aware of their legal responsibilities....if those that I dont have such a strong bond with wish to contact me the day is always open.

I don't think Ive ever used cookies but Ive been frantically updating quite a few websites with new Privacy Policy page to meet the GDPR regulations plus converting over to https from http over that last 5-6 weeks. Some of my clients, as usual, are just burying their head in the sand and doing nothing.

It is not just cookies and site data privacy that is subject to the new regulations, but everything to do with a persons private data and its use.

If someone is sending out email newsletters, then the GDPR applies.

If someone is just collecting user names, (that can be traced to the user) then the law applies.

If someone is sharing data, (even within a company) then the law applies.

If someone is selling physical products or digital products, the law applies.

If it is possible to track what a user is doing with a program, (using a particular feature) the law applies.

The GDPR covers just about everything and applies to every country, not just the EU. It may not be law in every country, but if anyone is dealing with anyone in the EU it may as well be, (one person or millions of people, it makes no difference).

I know that, believe me, Ive had several clients who have had their solicitors. lawyers on the case for weeks, sending me all kind of interpretations about personal data, some the user wont even understand, its written in 'alien' language.

I just wonder how that leaves me as a develope r- very often I track activity on my clinets website because the client calls me and says I have not had anything from paypal in forty days and forty nights or I havent had any email through for over a year, WTF is going on, answer my question now! As a developer I need to track activity so I cant respond to my clients requests.

Obviously forty days and forty nights and over a year is not quite true it might be longer
