Specifieke vereisten voor United Kingdom
Companies House number
UK limited companies must display their company registration number, registered office address, and place of registration on their website.
UK GDPR
The UK retained GDPR after Brexit as UK GDPR. Requirements are mostly the same as EU GDPR, but the supervisory authority is the ICO, not an EU DPA.
PECR (cookies and email)
The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations govern cookies and electronic marketing. Fines can reach up to £500,000 (separate from UK GDPR fines).
Accessibility
Public sector websites must meet WCAG 2.1 AA. The EAA does not apply in the UK post-Brexit, but the Equality Act 2010 requires reasonable adjustments for disabled users.
