  Indeed that is very awkward: "European Union (“EU”) legislation requires all website operators to inform website visitors about their usage of cookies" Later: "first-party and third-party cookies are used on: 1password.com (...)

    AFAIK, certain classes of cookies do not require consent. For example, login cookies.

  Not from 1Password, but refusing to comply with EU cookie legislation seems to be almost universal. Is any company compliant?! (I'm being facetious... my company is compliant or at least I think it is - not a lawyer... but it's very rare)
