There's nothing to stop an individual or other organisation from enforcing the rules through the civil courts.

It is a [LIFTED] mess though. Sure, for those who can, setting up a system to ask for remission is fairly simple enough, and as long as your site can function without access to cookies, then fine.
However, there are many sites asked on CMS like solutions - Joomla, ExpressionEngine, WebYep. All of these may drop cookies in one form or another. However, how would you convince the writers of these to comply with the rule? Some may not care, some may. Last time I looked, the Joomla forums had a thread about it with little conclusion, and certainly nothing from the development team.

Same with Google Analytics, but IIRC they were making a push to make an exception _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Google do offer a tool to block out their code if you want it. Whether pointing to that is enough to comply, or whether the site needs to specifically ask if Google Analytics cookies can be set is still being debated. The problem is also compounded by all those Tweet/FaceBook/LInkedIn/Digg buttons which set cookies as well. Those buttons are generally iFrames which are written in by JavaScript. Obviously, to comply, those buttons would need to either not be shown or only be shown when someone agrees to cookies being set. For bonus points, you’d only do this if the IP Address of the visitor is from an EU country.

I know, done them for quite a few websites  , there are alternatives (twitter offer a push and facebook offers a push service which is different to the built in share methods) but AFAIK not all the 'social sharing' methods support this _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.
