Seems like our lives are going to be made more difficult from the 25th May.

I guess this effects Flash shared objects too. Seems like this would be hard to enforce. I bet the Facebook people are pissed about this.

Yeah, I like the fact that Facebook are going to be disadvantaged by this, but I'm a bit concerned about the difference this is going to make to sites that originate from Europe.
Having to select (and agree to) cookie settings for every site is
probably going to dissuade people from using EU sites and might push them towards using US sites instead.I guess we'll have to see how it pans out - maybe it won't be as bad as I'm imagining.

it seems that, without a proper solution, enforcement is a problem across the board.

i was at a presentation last week and this came up - pretty much everyone - speakers and attendees - had the 'i'm not changing until I get a legal notice' attitude. Proper enforcement is more or less impossible.

Seems an idiotic law

Enforcement should be easy for the ad networks like doubleclick of the world. A one site cookie for a shopping cart (which are excluded), is a bit different than tracker cookies that follow your around and profiles your browsing habits. Sounds to me like the law is targeted at that usage.

BUMP.
This went into effect over the weekend.
