About LinkBacksEuropean laws regarding cookies are now in effect, and the BBC says thousands of websites are in breach of the new law.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18206810The regulations say websites must get "informed consent" from users before they record any detailed information in the cookies they store on visitors' computers.
Among websites that have complied with the law, getting consent has involved a pop-up box that explains the changes. Users are then asked to click to consent to having information recorded and told what will happen if they refuse.

This was changed to "implied consent" late on (in UK only), so there is not really an issue though it puts UK out of step with Europe (as if that matters):
