New rules will allow users to be more in control of their settings, providing an easy way to accept or refuse the tracking of cookies and other identifiers in case of privacy risks. The proposal clarifies that no consent is needed for non-privacy intrusive cookies improving internet experience (e.g. to remember shopping cart history).

"Cookies set by a visited website counting the number of visitors to that website will no longer require consent.”

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that web servers can store on your computer’s hard drive when you visit a website. Websites typically use cookies to ensure you see the content you want when you go back to a site, to enable you to see protected content when you’ve logged in with a user name and password. Cookies are stored on your computer – they’re not associated with an individual, just with the browser that’s being used. That's why information you may view on your work computer isn’t remembered when you go home. They don’t store personally identifiable information.

Session or persistent cookies
Some cookies are session cookies. This means they’re deleted when you close your web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari etc.). These are the cookies typically used when you log into a bank or make an online purchase. Other cookies are persistent which means they remain on your computer until they expire. This can be a fixed time after you have visited the website or a particular date. These cookies are used to remember information between visits to a website. For example, if you tell the BBC website to remember which weather forecast you want to see, it will use a cookie to remember that.

First or third party cookies
First party cookies are set by the site you’re visiting. In the example above, the cookie would be set by the BBC. They’re only read when you go back to the same site again. Third party cookies are set by someone other than the site owner. These may be set by agencies who have placed adverts on a site you visit, by analytics programs that help site owners know how well their site is working and similar organisations. If you go to another site that uses the same advert provider, the cookie may be read again, and the advertising agency will be able to recognise that the same computer has visited this site too. This information is generally used by agencies to target adverts, so you’re more likely to see adverts for products you are interested in.

Choice Blinds, Birmingham From: Mr & Mrs Douglas, Birmingham said...
Mario is extremely passionate and professional about his work. All my blinds were supplied and fitted and are of a very high standard. Mario’s prices are very competitive and it is well worth having a quote from Choice Blinds before going anywhere else, saving us a considerable amount of money. I will certainly use and recommend Choice Blinds in the future. A big thank you, Mario.

Mario came to fit vertical blinds in my living room. If I could give 100 stars then I would! He has done an amazing and truly professional job - he is brilliant at what he does. The blinds we’re just how I wanted them! Not only is he an expert in what he does, he’s friendly, chatty and very professional. Would defiantly recommend and will be using choice blinds again! Thank you so much!
