Friday marks the last working day for UK businesses to prepare their websites for a new law governing the use of cookies.
From Sunday, sites must obtain "informed consent" from visitors before saving cookies on a machine.Cookies are pieces of personal data stored when users browse the web, sometimes to power advertising.
The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) is to launch a tool for the public to report non-compliant sites.
It is expected that the vast majority of websites will not be ready in time.
However, the ICO has said it would not take immediate action over non-compliant sites, and would instead offer guidance.
