Mon Sep 23 15:09:14 UTC 2024: ## GOV.UK Updates Cookie Policy and Publishes Staff Data
The UK government website, GOV.UK, has updated its cookie policy, now offering users the option to accept or reject additional cookies that help track user behaviour and improve website functionality.
The website uses essential cookies to operate, but also uses additional cookies to personalize user experience and gather data for service improvement. These additional cookies are now optional and can be adjusted at any time through the website settings.
In a separate development, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has published details about its staff numbers and payroll costs for both payroll and non-payroll employees on a monthly basis.
This transparency measure is part of the government’s commitment to providing open and accessible information to the public. The website encourages users to participate in a short survey to further improve the user experience.
