Hope you find the following as amusing as I did -

Background -

On 26 May new legislation came into force in the UK regulating how web sites 
use cookies. It is the outcome of amendments to the EU Privacy and 
Electronic Communications Directive, and is designed to help protect 
individual privacy.

The key effect of the legislation is that web site operators need user 
consent to store cookies on their devices. Where previously web sites had to 
offer users the facility to opt out of cookie use, now web site operators 
need to ask for permission before they implement any cookies. So the opt out 
system has been replaced with an opt in system.

Enjoy
