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Postings here are, to the best of our knowledge, accurate on the date they are made, but may well become out of date or unreliable at unpredictable times thereafter.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.

Cookie Law Update

By Andrew Cormack

13 June 2012, 12.30-13.30

In 2009 an apparently minor amendment was made to European telecoms privacy law that turns out to have significant implications for websites using cookies as well as other technologies such as e-mail tracking.

The change became UK law in 2011 and will be enforced by the Information Commissioner from May 2012.

Programme:

Discuss what organisations can do to work towards compliance

Discuss some examples of how others have responded to the law
