Just 12% of UK websites comply with the EU Cookie Law [infographic]

Only 12% of the top 50 British websites have taken steps to comply with the EU Cookie Directive with an onscreen pop-up, banner or tab informing users about cookies on the site, according to a new report from TRUSTe.

But while this number seems low, the study found that none of the top sites in France or Germany has taken any steps towards compliance.

TRUSTe’s findings reflect the fact that the Information Commissioner’s Office has said it will adopt a soft approach towards enforcing the cookie law, which came into force earlier this year.
