Do I Need To Put A Disclaimer On My Website To Track Cookies?

When visiting a new website for the first time, we get hit with a popup window asking us if we are willing to accept this website's "cookies." Cookies are text files containing tiny pieces of data - such as a username and password - that are used to identify your computer among other computers on the network.

People are not usually comfortable with this because it gives way to the release or leak of private and sensitive information. But if you have a website of your own - you might be wondering if having one of these disclaimers to track cookies is a good idea. Luckily, Dan and Andy have you covered with this vital question. 

Are There Any Other Solutions To This Popup Pandemic? 

If you live in the United States, you're free to consider changing this routine by either adding or taking out your disclaimer for your popup cookies for your website. But if you live anywhere else, like Europe, then unfortunately, you don't have a choice. If you live in Europe, it would be best to put up this disclaimer due to recent laws and regulations.

To Answer The Question Lightly 

The answer to whether you need to insert a disclaimer on your website all falls on one thing - you. Is your buisness in or out of the United States? For those of us conducting business in America, this will solely rely on whether or not you want to gather information from your daily website traffic.

But if you live outside of the United States, you're sort of out of options. You will most likely have to include this popup before anyone can enter your business website.
