But is it possible for any functional website to comply?

Cookies that are strictly necessary for the functioning of the website are exempt. You need a privacy policy to explain to folks why.

I've been playing around with a Javascript to gain consent and another so that folks can withdraw consent and delete the cookies that have been set. I'm having real problems with reliability and flakyness in some browsers.

I only use Google Analytics cookies on the user side of my sites so I might just take the decision to pull the code that sets the GA cookies rather than confuse my (exclusively UK) users.
