I liked author Charles Stross' take on the whole thing:
http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2012/05/implied-consent.html
"Implied consent: if you use this blog and attempt to post comments, or are
an active moderator or guest blogger, you are presumed to have given
consent to the use of cookies for those purposes (and only those).
This has been a public service announcement made necessary by some damn'
fool European Commission directive that confused a goal (securing web
users' privacy) with a technology (cookies). Film at eleven.
We now return you to your usual viewing."
