Cookie Law, Cookie Setter & Getter

I am currently coding a custom cookie law solution for several websites. I am trying to make the solution/plugin as much of an 'all in one solution' as possible with the code being

Solution 1:

as Alex Wayne stated as comment to your question, cookies are set before you even see the <html> tag coming into your browser.

http goes like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Nginx
Content-Length: x (size of the following content)
Content-Type: text/html (this is what identifies it as html)
Set-Cookie: foo=bar; expires=Tue, 4-Dec-2012 19:30:42 GMT; Max-Age=2592000; Path=/; Version="1"

<!DOCTYPE html><html>
...

what you could do, and must do to perform such an action is to set a "do not track me" session cookie that tells the server to not put any cookies onto the served requests.

another way could be to have a get variable in the address bar that tells the server to not set track cookies.

thats what cookies are for actually.
