    New EU law: Surfers need to be able to accept or deny website-cookies

    I just read about some new EU law that will come on 1 July this year.

    With this new law website owners must get the visitors permission before they store a cookie on their computer.

    Anyone heard more about this? Sounds fucking retarded. Aff-networks needs to start to track by IP.

      This would have far reaching consequences for pretty much EVERY site and server since even sessions in php send a cookie...

          That's stupid. Don't most if not all browsers already let users decide whether to accept cookies or not?

              The law only applies if you don't use cookies as part of a service.
              If you use cookies for shopping carts, logging in and so on... it doesn't apply.

              If you use them for tracking, stats and so on... it does.

                  We use sessions that are modified not to use a cookie when one is unavailable.

                  The only negative affect would be the inability to place a our 10 year return cookie on new referred clients.

                  With regular cookie deletion, various privacy modes of modern web browsers and now this new EU law ? cookies are of dubious value for affiliate referral tracking.

                  It is in our interest to pay Affiliates for their work ...

                  All customers that register free accounts are tied to that Affiliate's account, if any, that referred them.

                      I'm surprised that they haven't come up with rules and regulations on how to take a dump

                          The systems to track people's behaviour are very advanced.
