Before you publish: rules that apply in England
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
Details vary by business, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.
