Online bookies accused of UK privacy breaches with use of cookie banners
- Online bookmakers and casinos have been accused of widespread non-compliance of information privacy requirements, including “data surveillance” of customers, according to a study.
- Nearly nine out of 10 (86%) licensed British gambling websites appear to be flouting the general data protection regulation (GDPR), the strict rules governing how organisations can collect, store and process personal data, according to the research.
- The findings relate to the “cookie” banners that appear on a website when a user first navigates to it, asking which information they are willing to share.
