Rigo, Thank you for the link to the so-called "demo site". I guess this site demonstrates well how bad cookie practices are penalised by the "cookie directive". A site that sets a single cookie for each preference key-value-pair clearly has an issue. And of course, no P3P policy on http://cookiedemosite.eu/ and not even a textual privacy policy.

But the Directive was decided in 2009 and the Commission won't open it again in 2011. I am personally of the opinion that with a little eagerness for compromise we can solve some of the issues with the tracking-protection currently under way. DNT could even address some of the user interface challenges that are raised by Article 5.3 of the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC). And if DNT is well defined, the overreaction of the regulator goes away and we have real choice. David Singer said it and Jules Polonetsky said it: Either the technology people are in the driver seat or the politicians will do something that the technology people will not necessarily like. http://cookiedemosite.eu/ Rigo
