Why do we inform about cookies?
The law about electronic communications was changed the 1th of July 2011. The cookie law is a part of the EU-directive The Revised E-privacy Directive. The law aims to prevent internet users being tracked without their approval; by forbidding data being saved or picked up from users units.

The law says: “It is only allowed to save or pick up data from users units if the user is informed of what data is being saved or picked up and for what cause. This doesn’t block the kind of saving and access needed to transfer electronic messages through an electronic communications net or being necessary for holding a service which the user explicitly requested.”
