Which law? The 2002/58/EC doesn't.


Not that one.

http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX:320...

Complete law: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX...

Paragraph 66 talks about cookies.

A later exception was made by the EU for session cookies.

It has a sample banner which is similar to those which most users display.

Spanish official directives (with further protection because of a local law called LSSI): https://www.agpd.es/portalwebAGPD/canaldocumentacion/publica..., page 17. Also comes with a sample banner

Did you really think that everyone else was wrong or didn't read the law and is programming these banners as some sort of fad?
