If you have the misfortune to live in a place controlled by a european legislature, this is my official notice that I don't care any tiny bit about the stupid legislation that declares that people must disclose a site's cookie policy.
What's worse I feel sorry for EVERYBODY that has to deal with the the results of this in the form of fairly intrusive boxes, dialogs, and other crap that demand that a person read and accept that a site is using cookies to continue using said site. If a user is too uninformed to know what a cookie is or that sites may be doing bad things with them, too friggin' bad. No action by any moronic legislature is going to stop bad people from using people's ignorance against them.
To clarify my position, I am not personally using cookies on this blog to do anything. Since it's hosted on blogger (Google essentially), they may be using cookies to disambiguate visitors from each other, or whatever. I don't care, and you probably don't either. Further, I think that you and your other continent-men should start putting in power some legislators that will reverse idiotic laws like this. If you do care, and you think the legislation was a good idea, I welcome and invite you to go wander off and read something else, because you're some horrible, stinking form of unsalvageable.
That's my cookie policy. I'm not tracking you. Google may be. Meh. I don't care. If you care, you have the option to leave. Use it. Take your governments with you.
