A lot of research went into this post. It should help clear up a fair amount for website owners - especially those using GoSquared. As the cookies are only Category 2, compliance is relatively easy compared to other services where there may well have to be a notice for the user to opt-in to the cookies.

Really helpful and cleared things up. Don't understand why we have these stupid laws but glad someone's ahead of the curve!

Great little summary and helps to clear a lot up as others have said, great for clarifying the different categories!

Great post which really does show just why it is such a not-well thought out law. Someone should show the EU this.

Thanks Chris, really cleared it up.
