Got my first EU Cookie nag.

There is a new law in the EU about the use of cookies and user privacy.

http://www.ico.gov.uk/for_organisations/privacy_and_electronic_communications/the_guide/cookies.aspx

I received my first notice along the bottom of a United Kingdom news
site today. It states "By continuing to use the site you agree to our
privacy & cookies policy." The privacy & cookies policy is a link so you
can review them. Then on the right hand side of the notice is an Accept
Cookies button. I'm not going to Accept Cookies, and see what happens.

Anyone going to EU sites over the course of a period of time will get
these.

So don't blame Firefox, for repeatedly nagging you. ;)
