      There is a new EU law coming (and already active in NL) which says that websites should ask users permission to use cookies.
      At my forum, non-registered users are only allowed to seemessages, they can't post anything.
      Nonetheless, a cookie is generated when they visit the forum. This seems not needed for proper function
      of the forum (tested this with IE with cookie blocking activated). Is there a way to bock the generation of cookies for guests?
      Cookie genetation when users login is ok, since these have accepted the terms of our forum and website!
      A big discussion on this topic can be found here (so I am certainly not the only one with this problem):
