Cathal, I just wondering
1. Do EU laws apply to US or Canadian sites? (if they have no presence in EU)
2. How do we know they are EU if they don't log in?
One of my sites does sell products and occasional customer from UK but we don't know that until they order and input their address.
How can I, or even DNN corp, check and comply with internet laws in every country in the world?
Browser detection of country is not that accurate.
Wouldn't it be easier to take out a newspaper ad and say "99.5% of world's websites use cookies, get over it?" Or is EU willing to give us email address of every resident, so we can inform them by email?
This is a nightmare waiting to happen ...

My understanding is that the location of the website is unimportant, it's the location of the organisation i.e. if your business is based in an EU country but you site is hosting in the US, you must still apply - the legislation seems to state that this covers all companies with EU offices i.e. if you have a small branch office in an EU country the law applies to you. I agree it is a poorly thought out piece of legislation and the lack of technical guidance (as well as countries application of it) makes it a nightmare.

I'm off on holiday this week and am hoping to code up a module solution for this as a personal project - if i get something worth sharing I'll create an opensource project for it so others can use it for free and suggest bug/enhancements.

You're right re "location of your keyboard" - I checked this with my accountant and lawyer (they have offices in 45 countries)

New module
1. Can I input location(s) of my organization?
2. Can I tell it to warn only UK/EU visitors re cookies? Or multiple countries if others adopt it?
3. Only logged in users or all users or shopping cart users?
4. Check box for google adsense, Google webmaster, tracking cookies, other first/third cookies?
5. Need this per admin (site), not host wide.

These are only suggestion for criteria that you may want to keep in mind. I realize not all will be implemented at start. Or that you'll even make module ... so they're no need to reply.
