Intranets (websites that are only available to a limited group of people, such as company employees) are not likely to fall within the scope of PECR 2003 for the following reasons: • PECR 2003, reg 6(1) prohibits the placing of cookies on the device of a user or subscriber without them first having been provided with clear and comprehensive information and having consented • the term ‘user’ is defined in PECR 2003, reg 2(1) as any person using a ‘public electronic communications service’ • a ‘public electronic communications service’ means any electronic communications service that is provided so as to be available for use by members of the public (emphasis added) • an electronic communications service is a service consisting in, or having as its principal feature, the conveyance by means of an electronic communications network of signals, except in so far as it is a content service The critical part of this chain of definitions is that the service must be provided for use by members of the public.
