Cookie Compliance for UK Websites

Post-Brexit, the UK has its own version of the GDPR (UK GDPR) alongside the PECR, enforced by the ICO (Information Commissioner's Office). The ICO has taken a pragmatic approach to cookie enforcement, but non-compliance still carries significant risks. ConsentEase ensures your UK website meets both UK GDPR and PECR requirements.

UK GDPR + PECR (Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations)

Penalties for Non-Compliance

The ICO can impose fines up to £17.5 million or 4% of annual global turnover under UK GDPR. PECR violations carry fines up to £500,000.
