CTO of an adserving company here. The law states that explicit consent is required for third-party tracking cookies. The law doesn't specifically say cookies either: it is deliberately vague to mean any data stored on a client's pc. So flash cookies, webstorage, etc all fall under this category. This is due to the law's original intent to fight malware / spyware. A basic summary of the relevant parts of the law can be found here: http://www.aboutcookies.org/default.aspx?page=3 http://www.aboutcookies.org/default.aspx?page=3
