Hello MJ,

It seems the next version of Piwik, due out in the next few days, will feature
a cookie-free option to satisfy the UK's new "cookie law."
Piwik does offer an option, in its privacy settings, to anonymize visitors' IP
addresses ("to comply with your local privacy laws/guidelines," it says), as
well as the opt-out link already mentioned. But that may not meet your specific
needs. I suppose it depends on the interpretation… I've read two
interpretations of the law just now:
1. Providing a prominent disclaimer mentioning that you're using analytics and
cookies, along with an opt-out link, is enough:

2. Opt-out is not good enough:

Good luck!
