The complainant has requested information about cookie compliance work carried out by the Information Commissioner’s Office (‘the ICO’). The ICO advised that it was relying on section 31(1)(g) of FOIA to withhold the requested information for questions one and two, and section 44 for questions three and five. The Commissioner’s decision is that the ICO was entitled to rely on sections 31(1)(g) and 44 of FOIA to withhold the requested information for these questions. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
