> The real problem with the law is that you need a cookie to set the preference for the tracking to begin with, which I don't want. The law of course states that there shouldn't be any tracking without explicit consent. The law doesn't concern itself with tracking directly. It talks about the use and handling of personal information. Putting a cookie on your machine to record that you rejected all tracking (i.e. "tracking=no"), is perfectly fine and does not require consent. It is not personal information.
