From this weekend all websites must obtain consent before storing cookies on user's computers.
I am so annoyed at this, as they are complicating a basic feature of web browsing. Cookies are the standard for storing data on the user's machine, with variables, just so you can do things like remember a user, and just store information - like any program would - so that the web page stays relevant between page changes. Without cookies, all websites would be flat and not dynamic - think back to the days of the start of the world wide web. Forums couldn't exist because it wouldn't know you were logged in, and so much other stuff.
But that's just me ranting. Personally it's meant I need to edit all of my websites to have some form of disclaimer (and users typically turn away from any website with a disclaimer).
Is this affecting anybody here?
More importantly, is RailUK ready?
