Your Website Is Collecting Data Before Anyone Clicks Anything. Is That Legal?
Under PECR Regulation 6, non-essential cookies cannot fire until valid, granular, affirmative consent is obtained. A pre-ticked box, a "by continuing to browse" notice, or a banner with no reject option isn't compliance — it's an ICO enforcement waiting to happen. Fines reach £500,000 under PECR and £17.5 million under UK GDPR.
This ready-to-use Cookie Policy gives FCA-regulated firms a complete framework for lawful cookie deployment — covering consent mechanisms, exempt cookies, third-party sub-processor governance, international transfers, data subject rights, breach response, and the full technical and operational infrastructure required to stay compliant across every digital channel.
Customise with your firm name. Deploy across your website, client portal, and mobile applications immediately.
What's included: PECR and UK GDPR dual compliance framework · Cookie classification system (essential, analytical, marketing, preference) · Valid consent requirements and granular opt-in mechanisms · Strictly necessary and transmission cookie exemptions · Cookie banner design and accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) · Double opt-in electronic consent procedures · Consent withdrawal mechanisms · Third-party cookie vendor due diligence and assessment framework · Data processing agreements for sub-processors · International transfer safeguards (SCCs, adequacy decisions, TIAs) · Cookie retention schedules and automated deletion procedures · User rights framework (access, erasure, portability, objection) · 72-hour ICO breach notification procedures · Staff training and SM&CR accountability framework · Master cookie inventory template · Consent assessment matrix · Third-party vendor assessment template · Compliance monitoring schedule · Full regulatory reference library
