EU e-Privacy legislation now requires that site visitors are given much more information about how web site owners use cookies on their sites. The legislation also introduces the idea of "informed consent" — essentially if you continue to use the site then you are consenting to the site's use of cookies. It's a watered-down version of the original plan which was going to force web sites to seek specific permission before any cookies could be issued. That would undoubtedly have been a headache for web site owners. But it did recognise the the creeping sharing of browsing data amongst cooperating web sites.

However, to satisfy the new requirements, web sites still need to introduce a clear notification of the site's cookie policy and then detail the cookies in a prominently-displayed privacy policy.

For web site owners we have introduced a cookie compliance service for Typo3 web sites that combines integration of a cookie alert (which must be acknowledged to stop it appearing on every page), with a review and analysis of cookies actually used on the site.

More information on the EU cookie requirements can be found here... but for a useful overview see this recent BBC news story.
