We use cookies...

[Johnnytheboy]

I understand the need for these cookies announcements, but is this the tidiest way to do it?

Same on Chrome and IE8.

[AndrewEH1]

Just had this myself...oh the lolz

IE8

[Stuart]

I use Chrome and it absolutely doesn't look like that.

We'll have a look.

For most people it should just appear at the top and then disappear when you click the button, at least until you delete cookies.

Hateful I know, and we've resisted for as long as we can, but a necessary evil if we want to avoid nasty sounding threats form European bureaucrats...

[EvoDelta]

Same for me on Chrome.

[Pheedbak]

We are following EU styling guidelines...

[S10GTA]

Does it really matter? Click it and forget about it.

[Hoofy]

Windows 7 + Chrome here. Get the same awful look. Edit: but clicking it fixes the problem.

[slinky]

Win2k, IE6, same issue.

(No laughing at the back!)

[ewenm]

Very annoying... for about 1 second until I clicked it and it went away. Non-issue.

ICO did rather backtrack on that, though, didn't they?

[Streps]

Same for me on Firefox.

[Johnnytheboy]

It does go if you click on it, and it doesn't matter.

But my Brian Sewell-esque aesthetic soul was wounded by how it looked.

[s p a c e m a n]

I'm on my android phone and its taken up half the screen, its also made me hungry coooookies

[ascayman]

I cant get it to go! advert covers half of it and the screen just jiggles up and down..

[LordGrover]

I've had no notices, I wonder if ghostery is stopping it?

[Kiltie]

Beaten to it.

how can we make it stop its driving me bananas!

[ajprice]

Mine looked like that. OS X 10.6 Safari.

[spitfire-ian]

Same on Chrome for me too.

[DMN]

I thought this law wasn't carried through in the end?

ie there is no need for a "we use cookies" statement.
