One can remove any cookies created, depending on which browser they use. Disabling cookies will, on few websites, hinder the performance. It also means you will be prompted to re-enter information which was normally stored in cookies on the website.

If you decide to withdraw your consent, some specific features on the website will not be available for you as per the cookie policy standards.

4. Why make changes to Cookie Policy?

- The previous rule on using cookies for storing information in Europe was that organisations had to:

  • Tell users how they use cookies, and

  • Tell them how they could ‘opt out’ if they objected

  • Many websites did this by putting information about cookies in their privacy policies and giving the user or subscriber the possibility of ‘opting out’.

This rule was set out in Regulation 6 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003.

The new requirement under Regulation 6 is essentially cookies can only be placed on machines where:

  • The user is provided with clear information about the purposes of the storage, or access to that information and

  • Has given his or her consent

  • The only exception to getting consent is where such storage or access is strictly necessary for the provision of an information society service requested by the user.
