In other articles I have read mention of allowing the user to opt in via the browser:
For example the directive suggests users can express consent through the use of browser settings, whereas the ICO guidance states, "At present, most browser settings are not sophisticated enough to allow you to assume that the user has given their consent to allow your website to set a cookie… We are advising organizations which use cookies or other means of storing information on a user’s equipment that they have to gain consent some other way."
This would be pretty easy to do with an extension and something like OnePass or OpenAuth. My issue with that solution is the centralization. I like having multiple passwords, however, I also like having everything blacklisted and making the user whitelist websites.
We are still waiting on over half the EU to say that they will implement this. Can't wait to see what interesting ideas spring up.
