Running a business website from Corsham: the rules

A website does not need a special licence, but the business behind it follows the usual rules. A few that come up often:

• You cannot set non-essential cookies on your website before the visitor has consented to them, and that consent must be actively and clearly given. ICO: cookies
• You must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent; there is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the soft opt-in. ICO: email marketing
• When you sell online, you must tell the customer they can cancel their order up to 14 days after it is delivered, and they do not need to give a reason. GOV.UK: online and distance selling

This is general information, not legal advice; confirm the details with the agency behind each item or with a professional adviser.
