I look after many websites and have only updated their privacy policy with Cookie information as below;

To be honest they are really after the sites which abuse them. Seeing as 90% of mine have only Google Analytics I am only going to use the updated Privacy and Cookie statement, I am not going to implement pop-ups or opt outs until it becomes apparent we have to. A recent survey reckons over 90% of sites will not bother at all - not even putting something in their privacy statements. This law is just another example of EU law gone mad - stupid and crazy rule which the majority will ignore.
