In Topic: Europe Cookie Laws

Yesterday, 09:42

"Implying" means "suggesting, indicating by a hint", so what ICO are saying is confusing, in fact first they say that "implied consent" is sufficient and then they state "You should not rely on the fact that users might have read a privacy policy that is perhaps hard to find or difficult to understand."
If "implied consent" is sufficient, it means that by visiting a site people know that the setting of cookies is a logical consequence. If you need to have an opt out and a warning regarding the setting of cookies, that is not implied anymore.

I would have a clear and unequivocal section about cookies in the privacy page, as for having a text on top of all pages, I guess that's the best way to protect yourself, but it does detract from the general look and feel of a site.
How about getting the opinion of an internet lawyer?

If I understand this correctly, this law applies to EU registered companies/businesses, whilst server location where the site is hosted is irrelevant?
My business is registered outside of the EU, but my site is hosted on a UK server, to my understanding this law doesn't apply to me. Please correct me if I'm wrong?

In Topic: you guys have a spammer and a scammer

These guys have contacted me as well a while back, what they do is search for people that post questions and are looking for help, then offer their so-called developing services. A desperate enough shop owner will accept their "help" and that's where the problems start. I have fallen for that myself in the past though not with those people. I don't know what those specific people are worth workwise, but personally I do not trust someone that contacts me that way.

My advice is ignore that kind of message, and if you ever hire someone to work on your shop, make sure it's one of the reputed developers that post here. Also, check out the commercial support area to get support from known and reputed oscommerce developers.

A default install of 2.3.1 only comes in English, you have to add additional languages yourself. Go to http://addons.oscommerce.com/category/Languages , download a spanish language pack and follow the instructions to install it.
