Website legal compliance in United Kingdom — the legal rules

The imprint, privacy and cookie-consent rules that apply to a business website in United Kingdom, with the statute and the penalty range. Checked automatically by Titan Omega.

Titan checks every item on this page automatically and reports each one separately — legal findings are never averaged into an SEO score, because a missing imprint is not "partly fixed" by a good page title.

How Titan checks this

Fetches the site and looks for a link matching the terms above, in the local language — not just the English word.
Reports each requirement separately, with the statute, so a finding can be handed to a lawyer or a developer as-is.
Re-checks on a schedule, so a page removed during a redesign is caught rather than discovered by a warning letter.

Every figure above comes from the same rule set Titan applies when it audits a real site. Legal information, not legal advice — confirm anything consequential with a qualified lawyer in that jurisdiction.
