The EU No Cookie Law

Posted By on May 2, 2012

Did you know that a new European Law makes over 90% of websites illegal?

Crazy, right?

Once again, we see that lawmakers are grappling at making new laws about a technology they do not understand.

Take a look:

Can you imagine if a law like this went global?

    Thank you EU for giving my site a clear advantage over all the sites in Europe. (end sarcasm) This is the type of law that breaks things, but doesn’t solve any problems. That’s the worst kind.

    I’m in the UK and, shall we say, I’m really not a fan of the EU… This gives me yet another reason to wish my country wasn’t in it!

    Don’t get me wrong, I love europeans, just not the terrible legislative monster that’s the EU! Did you know that the EU’s accounts have not been signed off on for 17 YEARS! http://www.taxpayersalliance.com/eu/2011/11/eus-accounts-signed.html

    I’ve signed the petition, I can’t believe it will do much (as the EU just seem to do what they want to anyway) but I’ve made a point…

      I know what you mean, James. It’s a real mess.
