    In our experience, there is still a lot of confusion about what consent means, and particularly 'implied consent' I think.  That being said there does seem to be a genuine shift in the market to give visitors more choice.  increasing numbers of publishers are moving from a 'we uses cookies, get over it' approach, to one where visitors are given control options directly onsite.
