Dear ICO, Sue Us
interim solution, add this to your adblock plus rules:
https://github.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-cookie-shit-list
and send me patches when you find a site with a cookie warning

Nice! Up until now I've been writing small GreaseMonkey plugins to handle this. Added your list. Expect the occasional pull request. :)
[edit] First pull request sent.

I like the idea, but won't this prevent you from accepting cookies if the site has actually bothered to ask permission before adding them?

You're right to have that concern, I won't block a site if it's doing that but practically it's not an issue. I've yet to encounter one that requires opt-in before setting cookies.
