Magento 1.7 has added a Cookie Restriction Mode which when activated adds a block above the header which asks for consent to set cookies.
However, it appears to set the usual cookies regardless of whether Allow is chosen. If you click Allow it simply sets a new cookie to that effect, and no longer shows the warning.
Has anyone looked at modifying this so that it won’t set the initial cookie, or to add a second Deny option that deletes them?
The alternative seems to be to change the text so that is assumes continued use of the site as tacit acceptance of the cookies?
How have/are you going to solve this?
Update: Well, they have changed the new rules at the 11th hour to strongly lean towards tacit acceptance, which simplifies the whole process, and seems to make the Magento module sufficient.

In fact a lot of sites are not even bothering with a pop-up, instead opting for just a link, or at most a briefly visible accordion.
