    A six-month investigation by BBC Radio Lincolnshire has revealed that one computer was tracked by 800 "cookies", some originating in countries such as Russia, China and Japan.

    New legislation to come into force this month demands that consumers give so-called informed consent.

    But Thomas Moore, from Midlands-based TKM Technologies, says he's not convinced the new legislation will work as intended:

    Quote Message

    Consent is almost unavoidable. We're going to see situations where users essentially have to accept that in order to use a particular website or facility they have to grant consent. I think the majority of users won't look in detail at the small print associated with that."
