There is a new law been passed in the UK that makes non-essential cookies opt-in only, so you must
get permission in order to use them.
That said, session cookies are a bit of a grey area. If your site relies on them to function, then
they're ok. If they're used purely for tracking, they need to be made opt-in. Everything
between is, like I said, grey.
