"From 25 May, European laws dictate that "explicit consent" must be gathered from web users who are being tracked via text files called "cookies".
These files are widely used to help users navigate faster around sites they visit regularly.
Businesses are being urged to sort out how they get consent so they can keep on using cookies."
