The idea was noble, but the law was poorly done.
If you want to have a Remember me checkbox (=writing a cookie with a session id), you'll have to get the user autorization. It effectively protects from nothing, it justs makes more popups in everyones life (yay!).
I think we are living in an era where there is a huge knowledge and perception gap with the people making the laws (At least in Europe). Hopefully this gap will narrow in the next 10-20 years, and things will be shapen more correctly in the future.
- jvdh 11y agoThe Netherlands has seen some refinement of the cookie law, and there are some sites, for example http://www.ns.nl http://www.ns.nl where you now have a choice in what kind of cookies you want to allow. Again, companies are trying very hard to hide this choice, but a tiny result from the study is that you do get this choice.
- fla 11y agoEven more popups, choices and waste of energy if you ask me :)
- mrsirduke 11y agoNobel is not the exact word I'd use. It's been unenforceable from the get go. If anything, think, just for a second, how much this law has costed the EU, and how many hours has been wasted reading/participating in the law. Of course, it could be one way of stimulating the economy, but I'd like to think it wasn't.
