Cookie law and your website

You’ve probably seen lots of websites asking for permission to use them and talking about Cookies. Most of the reaction is vastly unnecessary, but it is something you should be aware of and should comply with to an extent. The law is aimed at people who capture data about their websites’ users and use it for marketing purposes. i.e. facebook and amazon who tailor their content based on what other websites you have been to.
 
The website’s we’ve created only use cookies in a possible 2 ways, neither of which are intrusive and therefore don’t need big drastic statements or buttons to click on – all of which are very obtrusive and unnecessary. There is no threat to the user and the law is unlikely to take any notice if you do nothing at all.
 
Your website will only use cookies for Google Analytics, something nearly all websites use to track who is coming to your website and where they came from and something Google needs to ultimately seek permission for tracking. And for shopping baskets, to remember the content if the user accidentally closes the browser and then comes back to your website a few minutes later.
 
The only compliance needed is for a statement as follows, you can either add this to your website via the CMS at the bottom of every page – the home page at least and make it stand out a bit, or we can add a link at the bottom of the site and include the text on your disclaimers page.
 
Option 1 Do It Yourself – Not Shopping Cart
“Please Note: This website uses non intrusive cookies provided by Google Analytics to help us understand our websites visitors.”
 
Option 2 Do It Yourself – With Shopping Cart
“Please Note: This website uses non intrusive cookies provided by Google Analytics to help us understand our websites visitors. We also use cookies to remember your shopping basket, but not to store any personal details.”
 
Option 3 Link on Website Footer
“This website uses non intrusive cookies; find out more here.” which will link to your disclaimers page where the necessary paragraph will be placed. There will be a £20 cost for this to be added. This is the best way to integrate the compliance statement onto your website, but there is no pressure for additional cost from yourself.
 
Please just Contact Us and let me know which way you’re going to add the compliance statement for my records.

Microsoft Shuts Mainstream Support for Vista, Windows XP Deadline Approaches

Microsoft has ended today the free support period for all Windows Vista users, as developers moved from Mainstream to just Extended support. From now on, users have only two years to enjoy support for Windows XP and Microsoft Office 2003.

Microsoft urges all users to upgrade to Windows 7 and leave older versions behind. As from today, Vista users will have to pay for every support action, except for security updates.

These updates will be served during the next five years and on the 11th of April 2017, the period of Extended support will be terminated as well.

With Mainstream support, Microsoft served free and regular OS updates that came as security fixes or other patches. In Extended, most of these patches have to be paid.

Microsoft has stretched the Extended time-frame of Windows XP or Office 2003 for three extra years compared to Vista.

This is likely because of the lower number of people still using Vista compared to Windows XP.

Other products moved inside the Extended Support phase include Office 2007, which will completely be discontinued in 2017, as well as Vista.

All versions of the OS are affected by this change, including Visa Business, Business N, Enterprise, Home Basic, Home Basic N, Home Premium, Starter and Ultimate editions.

Making E-Mailing Our Companies Better For Everyone

We think that there are too many email addresses for a company so we decided to change this, all our companies will be generalised to info@ to make it allot easier to remember email addresses. We have decided to keep personal contact email addresses for direct contact but if you cant fin the email you just email info@ and it will be passed on to that person straight away saving you time, rummaging around for that lost piece of paper it was written on.

On our AA Network Solutions Website there will be info@ and we will keep tech@ that is the only two that will stay on that site.

Also all of our websites have contact us forms on them to make it easier to contact us.

We will be implementing all these changes to all our websites by the end of October 2011.
