Cookie Reports’ Compliance Expertise Strengthened with Specialist Advisory Board
November 2015 by Marc Jacob
Cookie Reports, a British software company offering organizations consultancy and cloud-based solutions for internet cookie compliance, have strengthened their credibility and gravitas with a panel of expert advisors from varying legal, privacy, IT security and information management backgrounds.
The internet’s regulatory landscape is changing, and organizations must stay up to date and ensure they are compliant with current regulations. Cookie Reports offers businesses a website audit via their cloud-based solution to identify current cookie settings – for example what cookies are set and how the information is used, how long the cookies have been set for, and whether any third parties have placed cookies on the site, which may be allowing unwarranted access to site visitor data. Clients can also rely on Cookie Reports for further consultancy on next steps to complete cookie compliance after the audit.
Thanks to insights from the advisory board, Cookie Reports can deliver the highest quality of consultancy to customers. Involvement with such industry heavyweights highlights the company’s commitment to staying abreast of current regulations and bringing new products to market, with the board offering latest perspectives from their different specialisms.
Cookie Reports CEO Stephen Hickey says “Cookie Reports and its customers will experience considerable benefits from the advisory board. Ideas, industry updates, concerns, and solutions will be pooled together and examined by the expert sounding board. With the board we aim for Cookie Reports to grow into a forum which people can call upon for advice and discussions on cookie compliance, current European privacy regulations, hot topics such as Safe Harbour and any other privacy issues they may face.”
The Board of Advisors come from across the globe, different walks of life and a variety of professional backgrounds. They are:
Ruth Boardman, Partner, Bird & Bird Law firm, UK
Adrian Asher, CISO, HSBC, UK
Alexander Hanff, Privacy Advocate, Europe
Randolph Kahn, Consultant, author and lawyer, Kahn Consulting, US
Kristi Perdue-Hinkle, Marketing Leader and Strategist, US
Further information about their individual backgrounds can be found below.
Cookie Reports Advisor Alexander Hanff adds “Cookie Reports’ services and technological expertise go hand in hand with the advisory board’s collective industry know-how, offering a smart IT solution and a valuable, informed support network for businesses operating online. With the European Commission’s plans to enforce a standardised European cookie policy in 2016, businesses will need to reshape their website cookies to comply, and can depend on expert compliance advice and support from Cookie Reports”.
