    @luap42 no cookies are ever 'strictly necessary'. We made complex data driven websites work before cookies were a thing. We still can. A session cookie is a good thing: it allows you to cache session related data server side. An anonymous UID for the user may also be justified in as much as it allows you to store user preferences. But neither is 'strictly necessary'.

    @simon_brooke and yet a good-faith interpretation and application of the cookie law without such technicalities is easily possible... (besides that: the term necessity has quite a specific, common meaning in law that would beg to differ)

    @luap42 whose interest does cookie law serve? Whose lobbyists drafted it? Who sits on the standards working groups?
