EU Cookie consent banners draw complaints
http://j.mp/Ws3TL9 (PC Pro UK)
Web users are "unhappy" with the banners used to gain "implied
consent" to meet new cookie laws, the Information Commissioner's
Office has admitted in a report. The data watchdog was tasked with
enforcing an EU directive, which stated web users must be asked for
consent before a site drops a tracking cookie on their computer.
