The European Union has a new legislation which will take effect in 2011. It will make it so the consumer, which is you, need to agree whenever a cookie is placed on your machine. A cookie is a small text document which will notify the web site about your previous visit, what you did there, and from time to time other information and facts like what page that you originated from previously. At times they are utilized for money making purposes however, many times it's really a tracking issue permitting a website to show various material to you as a first time user as opposed to a person who has been there day after day. The majority of websites today use some kinds of cookies. Will this new law become a problem to people who use computers?
Imagine that you sit down and perform a search. Every listing you click on will instantly have a big pop up disclaimer saying that you can't see the website until you agree to the cookie. You hit back unclear what this means. Then the next web site does the same and the next. At some point this will likely remind people of Windows Vista where whenever you needed to install something the admin pop up would appear. Most people who are not aware of cookies or the regulations will likely be a bit frightened to accept cookies because they are not sure if they're malicious such as a computer virus or spyware.
What would be a more effective method of doing this?
An easier way will be to educate internet users what cookies are and methods to turn them off or perhaps block them completely within your web browser. A lot of web browsers now have a privacy mode where no cookies will be added onto the computer and the track record of the internet browser is not stored. This provides the consumer the choice to either be accepting cookies or not without needing to get these bothersome full-page disclaimers where the consumer have to either accept it or be unable to gain access to the site.
