One thing I don't get is how a site-owner is meant to know what cookies a 3rd party may send. If I add a Facebook "like" button to my site, does FB send a cookie? What if they don't now but decide to later. And if FB does decide to use cookies down the line, how do they ask your opt-in?
You can send cookies with any HTTP reply, so how do you know if that image you are hot-linking from a 3rd party site doesn't send back a cookie?
There seem to be so many technical vagaries that make this so tricky to implement properly.

The ICO report says we would advise anyone whose website allows or uses third party cookies to make sure that they are doing everything they can to get the right information to users and that they are allowing users to make informed choices about what is stored on their device.
