Common confusion over the cookie law.
* It was never about all cookies. It was about 3rd party cookies.
* An agreement was only necessary if you were transferring a user's private data to a 3rd party.
It was a huge privacy leak. The EU tried to shut it down, so the world's corporations decided to keep doing what they were doing without changing a thing, whilst mocking cookies, and by proxy, the user's whose data they were fleecing.
