The European Union introduced laws some while ago requiring web sites to obtain consent from EU visitors to allow the use of cookies. Most larger corporate sites have implemented a policy for obtaining consent - or an "implied consent" solution, but countless smaller sites and blogs like mine have not bothered.

This article is a quick overview of what the policy is about, and how I implemented a quick and effective solution.

I have looked at cascading dropdown lists with WebMatrix previously, but the approach I featured demonstrated the use of jQuery Templates. At the time, the jQuery Templates project looked promising, but since then, the jQuery team have decided not to take them beyond beta stage.
