We've just published an updated table of European cookie consent requirements (available here), which makes clear that Member State adoption of local cookie consent laws continues to spread.

Our latest update reveals that:

*  24 out of 30 EEA Member States have now adopted national cookie consent rules.

*  Since our last update, Poland, Portugal and Slovenia have adopted new local laws governing cookie consent.

*  There are ongoing regulatory developments with regard to cookie consent guidance and enforcement in Denmark, Italy, Ireland and the UK.

With cookie consent rules have now been adopted across nearly all European territories, online businesses operating without a notice and consent strategy face real exposure that they need to address and resolve promptly.  And given the recent news of the first ever group privacy claim in the UK relating to cookies, non-compliance risk is rising from "simmering" to "boiling"!
