The dutch government is currently discussing with a 90% chance of the law coming through that dutch websites may no longer post cookies on people's computers, because it would be some kind of privacy disturbal.
What will this do to the Internet?
Discus..
I think it will cause me to forget probably all my passwords on the dutch websites, and my voting system won't work anymore =( And my TOS =(
It's actually something the EU is making all member states adopt.
It means that websites cannot use "non-essential" cookies (e.g. advertisement/visitor tracking) without the users permission. Essential cookies (e.g. which user is logged in, if the user accepted a terms of service page or if the user accepted the use of non-essential cookies) would be fine.
In that case i hope the law would come through, are you sure about this graham? If yes i will edit the thread.

From the official document here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
"Third parties may wish to store information on the equipment of a user, or gain access to information already stored, for a number of purposes, ranging from the legitimate (such as certain types of cookies) to those involving unwarranted intrusion into the private sphere (such as spyware or viruses). It is therefore of paramount importance that users be provided with clear and comprehensive information when engaging in any activity which could result in such storage or gaining of access. The methods of providing information and offering the right to refuse should be as user-friendly as possible. Exceptions to the obligation to provide information and offer the right to refuse should be limited to those situations where the technical storage or access is strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user. Where it is technically possible and effective, in accordance with the relevant provisions of Directive 95/46/EC, the user’s consent to processing may be expressed by using the appropriate settings of a browser or other application. The enforcement of these requirements should be made more effective by way of enhanced powers granted to the relevant national authorities."

Google's fucked.
America needs this.
Lol.
You won't be able to create a session without cookies...
