I am not a UK citizen, or expert in the new EU cookie law...
But is it really required to work without cookies at all? As far as I understood is it OK to store cookies for the working of a site (f.e. language storing, storing of sessions for ecommerce etc....) as long as it is needed for the functionality of the working AND when it is stated when entering the backend.
So in 1.10, a short text will appear that states that cookies will be stored when logging in the backend, to function....

by getting consent by some mechanism to allow cookies for GA, the only one I found was
