Rob, Experience shows the more complicated, the less likely wide adoption is. What are tools worth, too complicated to use for publishers or users?

There is no uncertainty about that. There is some debate on a possibly very limited list of functional cookies. One of the latest public documents on the status of the implementation is here ( disclaimer: I haven't checked it in detail): http://www.twobirds.com/English/News/Articles/Documents/Implementation_ePrivacy_Directive-Apr2012.pdf There is a catch-22 here, because law makers are looking closely to the outcome of W3C DNT process. Some find it very hopefull, some think it will not lead to compliance. So I encourage the group to try to get the TPE out of the impasse. Please tell me, if DNT is not going to have any additional value in comparison to the current opt-out systems. Because if DNT will not be able to offer a rich granular dialog 'under the hood' of the browser, DNT is not going to have the outcome many of us have been hoping for.
