The ICO state:
“We expect all websites using advertising cookies or similar technologies to give people a fair choice over whether they consent to the use of such technologies. Where organisations continue to ignore the law, they can expect to face the consequences.
We will not stop with the top 100 websites. We are already preparing to write to the next 100 – and the 100 after that.
