It'd be huge disaster for all website owners. Especially, when companies start to file lawsuits against competitors. Another reason to rethink about UE - is it really needed nowadays?

Almost all websites use cookies for either Google Analytics or other functionality, asking hundreds of thousands of websites to provide a complex layer of functionality to just make their stats work is basically going to result in many not being able to comply. I wonder what effect this will have on small websites and their vulnerability to disgruntled usersbringing them to book on their obligations. Crazy.

For example people from the Dutch DMA who I work with are doing that. The biggest chance what will happen is that we will have to accept the cookies on a browser level, which means that you will have to accept them once, much like how Microsoft now let's you choose between browsers. Most probably it will in the end be less of a big thing than it looks to be now, but I agree that the people who made these laws in the first place haven't thought about the consequences.

And whether all government sites have their ducks in a row before the end of May. If they do It's going to cost the taxpayer a fortune.
