I Just noticed on the  ICO website the first example of someone dealing with the new Cookie legislation. Crazy to think that every single site (that has a fear of the new law) will have to do something as rubbish as this. 

What does each site have to ask: "Hey we need to use cookies, if we don't everything will be broke - what do you want to do?"

Don't you hate it when bureaucracy wins out over common sense.
