For a few months in 2012 it was EU legislation that all sites had an explicit opt-in notification regarding cookies. In January 2013 this was revoked as it became quickly obvious that the ruling was arbitrary to use, annoying to most members of the public and totally unenforceable.

The ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office –ico.org.uk , the official body that covers online marketing legislation including cookies for the UK removed their opt-in pop roughly at this time. There were several articles noting this change that explains how the cookie legislation has developed.

This is one article which is both informative and entertaining (humorous infographics included) blog.silktide.com/2013/01/the-stupid-cookie-law-is-dead-at-last/
