One of Jisc’s activities is to monitor and, where possible, influence regulatory developments that affect us and our customer universities, colleges and schools as operators of large computer networks. Since Janet and its customer networks are classified by Ofcom as private networks, postings here are likely to concentrate on the regulation of those networks. Postings here are, to the best of our knowledge, accurate on the date they are made, but may well become out of date or unreliable at unpredictable times thereafter. Before taking action that may have legal consequences, you should talk to your own lawyers. NEW: To help navigate the many posts on the General Data Protection Regulation, I've classified them as most relevant to developing a GDPR compliance process, GDPR's effect on specific topics, or how the GDPR is being developed. Or you can just use my free GDPR project plan.

Cookies: Views from the Government Digital Service

Wednesday, June 6, 2012 - 12:23

I've just come across an excellent pair of posts from the Cabinet Office's Government Digital Service on how Gov.UK websites are approaching compliance with the new law on cookies in line with the Information Commissioner's advice. The first covers their general approach to cookies, the second discusses how to classify cookies (and other technologies) in terms of their privacy impact. There's even a guide for implementers. All admirably short, practical and well worth reading.
