"BT have confirmed that no personally identifiable information was processed, stored or disclosed during either trial"

... APART FROM ALL YOUR PERSONAL WEB TRAFFIC.

"it would have been difficult to frame any advice for customers about the operation of cookies, and obtain any relevant consents"

... THATS WHY YOU DON'T DO IT. IF YOU CAN'T COMPLY WITH THE LAW YOU DON'T ACT.

"BT’s view is that as the 2007 trial was small scale and technical in nature and no adverts were served"

... THAT'S BT's VIEW. ITS THE JOB OF THE INFORMATION COMMISSION TO PROTECT ALL THOSE PEOPLE INVOLVED. ONE IS TOO MANY. ONE THOUSAND IS TOO MANY. TEN THOUSAND IS TOO MANY.



Is there a way to complain or appeal that decision?

If that is the best ICO can do, well, this *absolutely* reeks of political corruption.
