64 Complaints Received On UK Cookie Law

judgecorp writes "Privacy watchdog, the Information Commissioner's Office, has already received 64 complaints under the UK's Cookie Law, which requires sites to get permission to track users with cookies. The law only came into effect on Saturday, and many sites do not expect to comply soon. To make life more complicated, the ICO has updated its advice, apparently allowing 'implied consent' instead of actually making a user click a box to give permission for cookies."

Implied Consent?

"Implied Consent" is nothing more than a way to skirt responsibility of law. If THEY can do it, then so can we.

"Implied Consent" is the most stupid term I ever read.

Stupid and impossible law

How does one opt out of cookies without using a cookie to remember it?

Your post gives me implied consent to sleep with your sister and your girlfriend.

I can see rapists having a tattoo on their chest "reading this message grants me implied consent... "
