I'm sure you are all clever, ugly and big enough to locate the 'actuals' on google. I have just deleted ALL of my net browsing history, ie and ff. I have not had a pop up to ask me how I want my personal web usage stored by either the BBC or NWN
There are new cookies in my temporary internet files folder for both sites.
Your browser's record of your browing history has nothing to do with cookies and it's possible those sites don't track which pages of their sites you visit. It may be that once you log in to a site, such as when you log in here to post, you effectively give your implied consent - maintaining a session key inside a cookie is just a lillte cleaner than propogating it across each page request in the URL.
This new cookie legislation is quite possibly the most pointless piece of ill-conceived European twattage yet.
