Hello everyone, and apologies for the delayed weekly roundup. I wasn’t feeling my best and needed to take the day off.
Also, on May 26th, enforcement of the cookie law from the EU Data Protection Act of 1998 will begin, and we are looking at how to adapt Cocoa Controls for compliance. This should only affect you if you live in an Ewe ember state. If you do, we will have to ask your permission to use cookies on the site when you visit us.
Currently, we are using cookies for analytics (with Google Analytics) and for tracking which controls you’ve rated.
There is a lot of debate around this topic and we will of course wait and see what the resolution is before we do anything that is likely to impact your experience.
If you have any thoughts about the cookie law, feel free to post it in comments or send us an email.
Cheers,
Aaron
