**London, UK** – The UK government website, GOV.UK, has updated its cookie policy, giving users more control over the cookies they accept. The site now uses essential cookies for website functionality, but also offers the option to accept additional cookies for purposes such as understanding user behaviour, remembering settings, and improving government services.
The new policy also includes cookies set by other websites, allowing GOV.UK to integrate content from external sources. Users can choose to accept or reject these additional cookies, with the option to change their cookie settings at any time.
This update comes as part of a larger effort by the UK government to improve user experience and transparency on GOV.UK. The website has also launched a new survey to gather feedback on user visits, allowing for further improvement and optimization.
