Most companies (and most individuals, I'd say) want to do what's necessary to not be bothered. It's doubtful these organizations have any great fear of EU regulatory bodies, but if showing a warning (that the user can subsequently bypass) shows they made an effort and staves off 90% of complaints, it'll be worth it.
