England rules for a business with a website
Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in England:
- 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
- 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
Every business is different, so treat this as general information, not legal advice, and check the official pages linked above.
