The best (worst) thing about this whole law is that these sites used to work fine without cookies, but now no longer do. In effect, while making a sincere (and successful!) attempt making cookie use more transparent, thereby enhancing user privacy, they unintentionally made cookie use more pervasive, thereby hurting user privacy.

I think that's a net negative.
