Cookie Law

[Pete]

Being one of those rebellious few many that ignores the "cookie law", this amused me:

As did their site here: http://nocookielaw.com/

You've to set a cookie to prevent future cookie notices

[Pete]

The whole thing does make me scratch my head I must admit, because the ICO suggest in their 30-page document that you should, as a bare minimum, make a page listing cookies used on the site and make the link stand out more from other links - maybe at the top of the page.

Scroll down to the footer to see theirs: http://ico.org.uk/

The whole law/regulation/directive/whatever was completely ill-conceived in the first place. And the ICO's handling just as shambolic. They have done one U-turn after another. On balance, it is looking as if your approach is the best one, Pete.

Interesting that on their website they quote two British laws that are actually myths.

Seems the Spanish are taking it seriously. Just read this:
