Published by a LexisNexis Information Law expert

What does Intranets mean?

Intranets (websites that are only available to a limited group of people, such as company employees) are not likely to fall within the scope of PECR 2003 for the following reasons: • PECR 2003, reg 6(1) prohibits the placing of cookies on the device of a user or subscriber without them first having been provided with clear and comprehensive information and having consented • the term ‘user’ is defined in PECR 2003, reg 2(1) as any person using a ‘public electronic communications service’ • a ‘public electronic communications service’ means any electronic communications service that is provided so as to be available for use by members of the public (emphasis added) • an electronic communications service is a service consisting in, or having as its principal feature, the conveyance by means of an electronic communications network of signals, except in so far as it is a content service The critical part of this chain of definitions is that the service must be provided for use by members of the public.

Website accessibility All websites should be accessible, especially by people with disabilities. Access to websites is governed by the Equality Act 2010 (EqA 2010) and the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (PSBAR), SI 2018/952, which implemented provisions of Directive (EU) 2016/2102 (the EU Web Accessibility Directive) concerning the accessibility of websites and mobile apps of public sector bodies. (Note that as EU-derived domestic legislation, these Regulations form part of assimilated law and continue to apply in the UK—see Practice Note: Assimilated law.)
