Fox Rothschild LLPStrict is for cookie, that’s good enough for me.

The United Kingdom’s Information Commissioner’s Office highlights “strictly necessary” cookies:

  • Strictly necessary cookies are cookies which are essential, not just nice to have:
    1. for the provision of the service, and not for other functions that you would like
    2. for compliance with legal requirements that apply to you
  • Just because a cookie is important to you, doesn’t mean it’s essential. Provide information and get consent.
  • Provide privacy notice disclosure even about strictly necessary cookies.

Details from the ICO’s Guidance on the Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies.
