As far as I understand it, the UK now allows an implied opt-in, so long as you make it clear to the user that cookies are being used.

  Do you have a reference for that? I don't see anything like it at the ICO site.

"Implied consent is a valid form of consent and can be used in the context of compliance with the revised rules on cookies."

    Here are some selective quotes from the document, I take it to mean: tell the user with a clear message at least once (ideally get them to click confirm but it's not a requirement): "In some circumstances those seeking consent might consider implied consent as an option that was perhaps more practical than the explicit opt-in model... For implied consent to work there must be some action taken by the consenting individual from which their consent can be inferred... This might for example be visiting a website, moving from one page to another or clicking on a particular button... The key point, however, is that when taking this action the individual has to have a reasonable understanding that by doing so they are agreeing to cookies being set." http://www.ico.gov.uk/for_organisations/privacy_and_electronic_communications/the_guide/~/media/documents/library/Privacy_and_electronic/Practical_application/cookies_guidance_v3.ashx http://www.ico.gov.uk/for_organisations/privacy_and_electron...
