Website management

Website management

Any business with a website will need to comply with various rules and regulations. The nature of these rules and regulations will vary depending on whether the website is business-to-business (B2B) or business-to-consumer (B2C), and whether the website offers the sale or supply of services or simply just the provision of information or other content. Some of the issues that businesses face when selling online include inadvertent contract formation, complying with e-commerce legislation, data protection and e-privacy law and online advertising and marketing law.

Questions linger on UK sanctions enforcement despite win

Law360, London: British prosecutors recently won their first-ever case against a former politician for breaching Russian sanctions, but some experts question whether the authorities are picking simpler cases rather than prosecuting more complex, substantive breaches.

Key takeaways from the ICO’s final anonymisation guidance

Information Law analysis: On 28 March 2025 the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) published its guidance on anonymisation and pseudonymisation under the UK GDPR (the Guidance). A long time coming, with drafts and sector-specific guidance published intermittently since 2021, the Guidance offers a practical response to addressing key concerns around compliant use of pseudonymised and anonymised data, especially in the context of data sharing, advanced analytics and modern technologies available to the ‘motivated intruder’.
