European Cookies

Yeah. Sometimes the EU should just mind their own business. It's particularly stupid because the user can just choose not to save the cookies if they don't want them.

 

Just because I say Set-Cookie: foo=bar doesn't mean the user has to save it to a file on their computer. They are the ones who are ultimately responsible for actively saving it somewhere.

There is probably 1,000,000,000 cookies everyday that are set on computers, people often delete their cookies quite frequently, cookies are needed for a website to work properly. Asking a user on each pageload of  new site to consent to accepting it just retarded, Secondly There is already option in browser's for the user to ask "If they want to allow this to set cookie" when one received. What dumbass politicians. They dont understand a f'in thing about the internet. ::)

The internet is stateless without cookies you can't tell if the person who took your consent form is the same person when come the next day wihout a cookie, once they clear their cookies there signing the consent form again! This is a browser problem, not a website problem. Browsers already cover this quite well least for those who are smart and know how to use the internet and their browser. Maby they should put an extra BIG button (for the noobs) in the browser informing the user they can block cookies from websites in their browser. :P

Tell me a single thing they do understand, besides how to make bad matters, worse.

Taxing is a bad matter, and by wasting it, it only makes it worse.  ;)

A lot of noise about nothing:

 

"An exception exists where the cookie is "strictly necessary" for the provision of a service "explicitly requested" by the user – so cookies can take a user from a product page to a checkout without the need for consent. Other cookies will require prior consent, though."

yep. wonder how google will deal with this for analytics code on your website

 

Sounds easy.

 

Paraphrased ToS of website using GA:

"We are collecting statistics about your usage of this site, and doing this requires a cookie. We refuse to offer the service without this."

 

Then you just need to display a visible link to your ToS on every page. You need to ensure that logged out users (if applicable) don't get the GA JS on their first page view, and never on the ToS page.

 

People don't read terms of services anyway. It's not like for instance we (PHP Freaks) are obligated to provide any service to anyone, so we can really just tell people to GTFO if they don't like that we're using GA. Of course PHP Freaks is not based out of Europe so it doesn't matter anyway.
