Managing customer data responsibly isn’t just about GDPR. The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) set out strict rules on cookies, electronic marketing, and tracking technologies. At North Signal, we help Manchester businesses take a practical approach to PECR compliance and cookie management, ensuring your website and digital communications are both effective and lawful.
Why PECR Compliance Matters
Non-compliance with PECR can lead to:
1. ICO fines and enforcement action.
2. Loss of customer trust.
3. Poor website performance from mismanaged tracking.
4. Legal disputes around marketing and consent.
Many businesses focus on GDPR but overlook PECR — yet both must work hand-in-hand to protect data privacy and customer rights.

PECR vs GDPR – What’s the Difference?
While GDPR governs how personal data is processed, PECR covers how businesses use electronic communications and online tracking tools. If your business uses cookies, sends marketing emails, or relies on analytics, PECR rules apply in addition to GDPR.
