Forget the ICO, what about the European Commission, which has not even
bothered to comply with its own directive.

www.europa.eu

 

I wrote about this on Saturday, if you're interested

And, in the meantime they couldn't possibly have the time to spend about 1
hour of a developers' time improving this 'rush job' which has only added to
the confusion and made them seem out of touch???

The ICO said that their own implementation was terrible they only did this
as they were forced to do something a year ago as certain people get a kick
out of reporting the ICO for breaching the Data Protection Act. They said
that had they had the benefit of the last year of consultation during the
grace period then they would have taken a different approach. They did not
advocate using this approach, but they don't give prescriptive advice and it
is up to you to decide what you need to do in the light of what you find
from your cookie audit.

 

The above was from 2 conferences a month ago where the ICO spoke on this.
