Is anyone fighting this issue?
Our business is based on measuring progress and reporting on data through Google Analytics tracking - an essential and completely harmless use of a cookie. This law will completely remove that ability as when a user is asked if they would like to be tracked via cookies, they are clearly going to respond with an entirely uneducated but understandable 'no'.
As far as I'm aware, cookies are only ever mentioned in the mainstream media when it is relating to some kind of horrible scare mongering story about how Google can 'watch you' while you're sitting at your computer in your pants.
We're going to comply with this law, but it's totally out of line. Is there anyone in Government who has run a website let alone a successful one?!
