Topic: Will PRQ still be any good for hosting now that there is a fucktarded Cookie Law in the EU?

It was looking like a promising option but now this ruins things.
So you cant use cookies or they will sue you for $100,000/day?
Where is there to turn to without PRQ? America doesn't have cookie law but has all kinds of other retardedness. China has censorship so that's a negative. So where do we host stuff? Some company in Russia maybe?

You can use cookies, but you have to allow them to approve of such cookies. Besides, there's always Russia and other Slavic nations to host shady Web sites from.

That sounds like a pointless law. They should have spent the money on an Internet safety awareness campaign instead.

Here's an interesting snippet from the above that is probably relevant to the thread:
The location of your hosting is irrelevant, but the location of your organisation is not. Your organisation must fall within the legal jurisdiction of the EU. Each member state has their own laws, which are based on the same EU directive, but may differ slightly.
For most small/medium organisations, being located in the EU will mean you must comply.
It sounds like they are talking about businesses here. I wonder how this will play out for personal sites or sites run by a smaller organization.
