Apr 30, 2012 at 11:01 comment added JamesRyan It is not exempt, this law is not specific to cookies, but applies to all local storage. It just happens that cookies are the highest profile.
Oct 5, 2011 at 3:12 comment added ctbeiser I'd guess HTML5 localStorage. It's not a cookie, so as I understand it, it's exempt, and it allows you to store data on client machines. As a bonus, it speeds up response times, improving the UX!
Oct 4, 2011 at 15:32 comment added JohnGB Solution: Along with the consent question, there should be a button to send an automatic letter of complaint to each of the politicians who supported the bill. Every bit of my time they waste should waste some of theirs as well. :)
Oct 2, 2011 at 10:44 comment added user8782 We have put together a small site for people to be able to see how long they have left before the new law will start to be enforced. countdown.wolf-software.com We are also working on a complete cookie solution that will gain person for any type of cookie, we hope to have this available and verified by the ICO within a couple of weeks.

May 23, 2011 at 12:44 comment added MSalters @jackJoe: So the user can revoke consent by technical means. How is that a legal problem? As for the double consent issue, that's a site problem. Don't ask for consent if you already have it. You know that you have consent when your cookie is already present (because that cookie would be illegal otherwise)

May 19, 2011 at 14:59 comment added jackJoe I loved the "until the visitor deletes his 'consent' cookie"... This legislation is so wrong. I haven't done anything yet about it, but see in the future browsers doing this consent request for you, then we'll have two problems, double consents?
