Thoughts? I've already had to develop a solution that allowed users to accept cookies, I've seen a dramatic decrease in visitors actually clicking the acceptance button. With a heavy reliance on being able to track users with analytics on the site it has really had a big impact.

So if you had to keep accepting cookies on european websites you visit, would it annoy the crap out of you, enough to stop bothering to tick that button?

Who stole all the cookies from the cookie jar?

Foreigners.

Wait, it's been a while since I've messed with cookie control, but don't you need a cookie to determine if the client has accepted any cookies?

Yes, but the legislation allows that.
