Electric Studio EU Cookie Law Compliance Notice WordPress Plugin

6 Posted July 30th 2012 by in Electric Studio, WordPress Plugin

Disclaimer: Electric Studio are not legal experts and these are just our suggestions on the matter which we hope will be useful. It is not intended as legal advice.

Electric Studio EU Cookie Law Compliance WordPress Plugin

On May 26th 2011 a new EU originated law came into effect that requires website owners to make site visitors aware of what cookies your website sets and what they do.

If you are using a WordPress website, then it’s fairly straight forward to comply. In theory you need to do two things, 1) add a “about cookies” page on your website explain what cookies are being used and for what, 2 ) flag this up and offer a way to decline or accept this using our “Electric Studio EU Cookie Law Compliance” WordPress plugin. If you want to take it to the extreme, allow for people to turn off any non essential cookies using a functionality on your site, or explain how to use the browsers settings to do the same. By non essential cookies we mean cookies that are there for your needs only, eg Google Analytics or similar cookies used for user behavioural tracking.

Cloud Web Hosting

Electric Studio are very excited to announce the launch of Electric Hosting, our premium web hosting company offering a 99.9% service level agreement, SLA.

We spotted a gap in the market for our customers in need of business grade, reliable and fast web hosting that didn’t require any knowledge of managing dedicated servers or virtual private servers.

So when you’ve outgrown shared hosting, but can’t justify the expense and don’t have the experience or time to manage a dedicated server or VPS, our Shared Cloud Web Hosting is for you.

We utilise the many benefits of a VPS solution rather than a single server and each VPS server hosts no more than 50 sites, compared to an industry standard of at least 500 per server. Every account comes complete with their own cPanel control panel allowing full control of emails, databases, FTP accounts and much more. If your website is vital to your business, then you can rely on our premium hosting solutions to provide the highest uptime. It’s also fully backed up just in case.
