Cybot Launches Painkiller for the EU Cookie Directive
ODENSE, Denmark, February 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Website owners in the EU face considerable fines for not being in compliance with the
EU ePrivacy Directive. Cookiebot is a new cloud service that enables compliance within
minutes by giving website users the choice of privacy.
Website owners in the European Union are struggling to comply with the EU ePrivacy
Directive, also known as the EU Cookie Directive. Under the directive, every website owner
is obliged to seek consent from the users before storing cookies in the users' web
browser, which most websites do by default. The owners of non-compliant websites face
considerable fines, e.g. in Great Britain of up to GBP500,000.
The newly founded cloud service company Cybot now launches the online self-serve
service Cookiebot which makes it possible for website owners to comply with the EU
directive within minutes.
User privacy the easy way
Until now, only a small fraction of European websites has succeeded in complying with
the directive, mostly because there has been no easy, standardised and user-friendly way
to implement the functionality. Cookiebot offers a standardised and hassle free way of
collecting consents with minimum impact on usability.
In addition to legal requirements, Cookiebot documents every consent. This way,
collecting consents is not only about satisfying the EU directive, but also about
reinforcing business critical user-trust and knowing the choices and true preferences of
website users.
The consent platform on http://www.cookiebot.com is a first step towards Cybot's
goal in providing automated information services that must act only in agreement with the
end user.
COMPANY INFORMATION
Cybot was founded in Denmark in 2012 by award winning entrepreneur, journalist,
usability and IT expert Daniel Johannsen who has worked as a dedicated pioneer in Online
Information Technology since 1999.
Cybot brings you cloud-based software robots that discover, analyse and compile
information from the entire internet on your behalf. Cybot's mission is to turn
information overload into personalised, high quality information that you actually want
and need.
