It might be a slow news day, but that doesn't alter the fact that the law
changes regarding the setting of cookies. Users will have to be shown a
warning that they're being set and offer users the option to not accept
any(1). Of course, as we know, there quite a few sites that simply
refuse to work if you don't accept cookies, and not all of them tell you
that they won't work.

(1) How they go about it is up to them; If users don't press "no" inside
(say) 10 seconds, that can be taken as an implicit "yes", to setting
cookies. Other sites might be more reasonable and wait for an answer
before proceeding.
