No need for swearing, just don't include a cookie banner. Seriously, what's going to happen? Absolutely nothing. The ICO actually admitted as much in the UK.

The cookie law is the result of tech-illiterates trying to inform other tech-illiterates of something that they shouldn't need to care about... 2nd party and 3rd party tracking should be, and is, managed by the browser (or User Agent, the clue's in the name) not every single website the user visits.

Meanwhile, Greece is being sold down the river by an anti-democratic EU, the USA seems as troubled by racism as ever, and we're now walking jovially down the road to irreversible climate change... but not.. ZOMG COOKIES! OHNOES! WE MUST MAKE COMPNIES WARN EVRYBODIE!

Imbeciles!

Okay, rant over. Normal service will resume shortly.
