[Building Sakai] EU Cookie Disclosure

[Feliz Gouveia]

wouldn't the following exemption apply to Universities and other
content providers?

"The Regulations specify that service providers should not have to
provide the information and obtain consent where that device is to be
used:
(...)
- where such storage or access is strictly necessary to provide an
information society service requested by the subscriber or user. "
