I actually used to work for a branch of the British government and their philosophy was never spend any money, especially on maintenance.
So I would not be surprised if you’re right. Also the ICO are completely toothless, I don’t think they’ve ever actually done any legal enforcement. It’s their fault that all the websites have the stupid cookie pop-up warnings. Somebody asked him if that would be acceptable under the law and they said yes, even though it’s clearly ridiculous and clearly violates the law, but that set the precedent. They set a precedent on Twitter. Idiots
Eh? The cookie popups are because prior to that point websites were just doing whatever the fuck they wanted with no disclosure, as bluntly as the requirements for cookie disclosure have been implemented.
Too true.

Isn’t the cookie warnings because of the EU?
