Subject: [Hampshire] The Cookie Law
I've seen the news articles about the new laws concerning cookies[1].
From what I can tell from the ICO website[1] there is no exemption from
this law for personal or non-profit making websites.

A brief check of my personal website shows 7 cookies are being set as a
result of using Wordpress and Google Analytics. Accordingly it seems I
should be advising users of these cookies, giving them a chance to
consent and change their mind.

So, has everyone else done this? ;)
