Here's where the official info on "the cookie law" appears to reside.

New EU cookie law (e-Privacy Directive) The law which applies to how you use cookies and similar technologies for storing information on a user’s equipment such as their computer or mobile device changed on 26 May 2011. [ico.gov.uk...]

Note the "We want to give you a cookie" notice at the top of the page:

The ICO would like to place cookies on your computer to help us make this website better.

Yeah, that tell me a lot.

There's a lot of info there, so much that I have no clue what the specifics of the law are.

Someone needs to pass a law that all "laws" must be 200 words or less and easily understood by a 14 year old.
