I can create a malicious Script in JavaScript right now and put it on my website, if I still knew Java I could do the same. But what does the EU do???

They prohibit the use of Cookies without the consent of the user!

Now a cookie is a plain and simple text file that doesn't have the ability to execute anything. Now I have to ask the poor users in those countries permission to use cookies!!!

Why am I annoyed? Well, these monkeys in the EU clearly have no idea what the options -> Privacy settings is used for in the menu of every browser. These visitors can make their own decisions why make it illegal?

This is going to create a bunch of problems in the affiliate industry as well as the bloodline of the Internet, adserving and stats.
