No, the requirement for (Dutch) law is that the cookie may not be set until explicit content has been given. The same goes for facebook, twitter etc. My website is targeting Dutch visitors, so I am in clear violation of Dutch (and partly European) law. On this page of my site the following cookies are written: https://www.sat4all.com/forums/topic/347763-is-putin-nog-toerekeningsvatbaar/ DoubleClickFacebook ConnectGoogle AdsenseGoogle AnalyticsGoogle+ PlatformGravatar As far as I know the top 5 are tracking cookies and should not be written without explicit consent of the (Dutch) visitor. Analytics and Adsense have been configured by me using the IPS functionality (Ad Code Integration and Search Engine Optimization), Facebook connect is due to the functionality within IP board (Social Media and Sharing) which I can not prevent without switching it off entirely. That Is why I think it is IPS responsibility, or call it moral duty to at least help solve this problem.
