ICO Cookie Crackdown 2.0: The ICO’s New Storage and Access Technologies Guidance https://www.zwillgen.com/eu-uk/ico-cookie-crackdown-2-icos-new-storage-access-technologies-guidance/

My experience witH the #ICO is that they may have all these rules and regulations but they don’t follow them up or enforce them. 99.9% of websites fail on the PECR either by
• using cookie popups that make it much more difficult to opt out than to agree
• classifying cookies wrongly ( especiall saying marketing/tracking cookies are essential)
• using GoogleTagManager without gaining approval
• using Google’s reCAPTCHA without approval (something the ICO explicitly states is not allowed)

The ICO needs to spend less time publishing documents and more time punishing wrongdoers.

#Spammer invited me to take them to #court.

Proceedings were served on the 12th, deadline for a response expired on Monday.

Today I got a "we'd definitely win this, but we're far too busy to bother defending ourselves, take the money but please don't enter judgement against us" email.

So I got to send a "too late, default judgement was entered yesterday" reply. :)
