Information Commissioner’s Office is making enquiries with Google over its actions around Internet Explorer privacy policies. Microsoft has accused Google of using third party cookies to track user behaviour online. Google insists it is ‘impractical’ to comply with Microsoft’s request while providing modern web functionality. The ICO has confirmed that it is making “ongoing enquiries” with Google to ensure that Google is complying with the Data Protection act and EU Privacy and Communications Regulations. In 2010 Google was found to have broken the law by collecting data via unencrypted Wi-Fi networks when it was collecting images for Street View.”]
