Don't even try to think why we have this, no-one really knows :P Germany seems to hate Facebook and that's the only explanation for it. UK and Irish citizens are getting the short end of the stick, seeing as many international websites that primarily use English have had to adapt to the law (why no-one knows, it should be out of their jurisdiction). I think Google had to have a notice up too, and Microsoft but it's one of those notices you delete without really thinking - which shows how unimportant such a law is :P

Well I noticed the cookie message on Habbox.com but I thought that Matt Garner had too much eggnog. I had no idea it's actually a rule websites have to follow. I don't understand because if users don't want cookies they can just disable them in their browser settings.

The cookie law/rule is stupid and should have never been thought of the in the first place.

For once Matt isn't to blame ;) It's just the EU trying to look busy as always. They forget their citizens aren't actually that stupid, but they may as well treat us like we are :P

Technically we're still breaking the law because we still use cookies before that popup even shows up BUT HEY HO!

POP THEM DOWN
