The people that wrote the EU cookie law should be forced to use a browser that deletes cookies when it closes. That way the pointlessness of the law should become obvious to them.
When my co-workers and I read the first version of the Danish version, we read two different things. I'm sure I read the law as it was intended, and the others found all the loop holes.
The sheer amount of tracking stuff injected into some sites are ridicules, 5, 8 15 or more different ad, tracking and retargeting services and all they have to do is say "Hey, we use cookies". That great, I bet you can tell me what half of them does or where they come from. Because that's another issue, you sign up for "sales tracking" with one company and you add their Javascript snippet AND BOOM, they side load three other services.
The sad part is that users don't even get better service, they just get more ads.
