Yeah, that'll be because ico.gov.uk that enforces this law changed
their interpretation a day or two before the deadline.  They now seem
to allow opt-outs, which is utterly wrong and not what the legislation
actually says and the last-minute U-turn will have wasted lots of
money, but never mind, they're the ones who set the deadline and
now they've removed it so we have to live with it!

So Piwik (and Google) would comply with the current ICO interpretation
of the law if an appropriate warning is displayed, as I understand it.
