Just had my first site generated (as opposed to browser generated) request for permission to use cookies. theregister (El Reg) dot co dot uk was the site in question. Although I didn't go into great depths checking out their policy, I didn't see any way to opt out. All I saw was an "I'm OK with this" button and a "if you continue using the site we'll assume you are OK with it." statement in the pop-up. Is this legal? Can they do it this way? (This from 'The Insider' 29th May 2012, says they can.[^]) We are entitled to know! Referee!
Henry Minute Girl: (staring) "Why do you need an icy cucumber?" “I want to report a fraud. The government is lying to us all.” I wouldn't let CG touch my Abacus! When you're wrestling a gorilla, you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is. Cogito ergo thumb - Sucking my thumb helps me to think.

Probably ok otherwise what are the choices? If you disagree, bugger off and don't use our site as it depends on advertising cookies.

The ICO changed the cookie notification requirements at the 11th hour so a site can presume consent if you continue to use the site. Quite a relaxation! Some sites are complying with the rules well, e.g. amazon, bbc, oracle.com, but some just give it a passing mention or bury it deep inside their privacy policy with not noticable change over the past weeks, e.g. play. So the question is, is the ICO going to start a campaign against the non-compliers? Guess we'll wait and see.

Typical of the tree-hugging, hippy dip-shit world we now live in, the last I read was that the ICO was going to 'help' non-compliers, not punish them[^]. All together now - aaaaaaahhhhhhh.
