'the web designers who, like sheep, all seem to have innovated in the
same direction'
I think this is in the belief that if it done like every body else, we
can't all get it wrong - or if we do there are too many to single one
out for punishment.
Many have copied the ICO's method.
Thanks

My browser clears down all cached information at the end of every
session. This means that the BBC website has to ask me every time I
visit, following a new session.
I do this on my browser because I access several secure sites as part of
my work and it is good practice to ensure no trace of accesses can
remain.
Anyone else who is security/privacy conscious is therefore doomed, like
me, to forever be blighted by this way of managing cookies.
For the record I do believe it's the legislation that is at fault for
existing in the first place. However, it does exist so some blame does
indeed have to go to the web designers who, like sheep, all seem to have
innovated in the same direction.

Its not the legislation that's at fault, a bad Privacy statement will
put people off as do endless disclaimers, surely the problem is in the
hands of the website. I have been to the BBC website on many occasions
and remember clicking on the cookie bar but now it is not a problem, I
have made my informed decision and moved on. Just because some websites
make a pigs ear of how they do the cookie pop-up doesn't mean that it's
a disaster. They should all learn from good practice and make it work
for the consumer.
