I'm fine with cookies here, it's not all that bad once it just goes green and stays in the corner :)

Hi Chaps. The short version:

The EU has decided that if your website stores any cookies on a persons machine, you need to tell them about it and get them to agree they are OK with it. If you don't, they'll fine you up to £500,000.

Long version: http://silktide.com/cookielaw

Pain in the bum, but there it is :(
