Sweden Crunches Cookies
dillkvast writes "According to this article (swedish) at ComputerSweden swedish websites must now have the user's consent to use cookies. The law also states that the user is to be informed of what the information stored in the cookie is, and its intended use. This leaves swedish website with two options: No cookies at all, or a special page where the user is informed of the cookie use and can choose to either accept or reject the cookies. This represents a huge problem for swedish sites which use .asp and .php session variables, the article states, which will have to rewrite their sites to present the user with a chance to confirm that cookie use is ok. The law comes into force today."

I'd view the symptoms that one user's displaying as warning signs. You know he's gonna be the one to snap and riddle the office with bullets, right?
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
