He gave them a year of grace - (with no statutury justification) - now the year is up - and they are still ignoring him - and he is STILL doing nothing. Vinod Bange, a lawyer for Taylor Wessing who has spent time consulting companies who are cautious of the changes, said the small number of businesses who have invested in meeting the guideline deadline could be left feeling frustrated. The ICO's website has implemented its own consent mechanism on its site. "There will be some companies out there wondering why they've gone to the expense, and committed a lot of resource, into trying to tackle a problem which is not going to be enforced," he said. In the interview with E-Consultancy, the ICO's Mr Evans said there would not be a team of investigators seeking out infringing sites, but would act on complaints. Yet more regulatory failure in the United Kingdom.How much do we spend on the ico? [ Edited Thu May 17 2012, 06:58AM ] | ||

I wonder if my local government website carries any adverts. As I have AdSense blocked I would never know unless I actually went looking. | ||
