any website hosted in the EU/UK must now have a huge privacy warning stating they're using cookies - or not use cookies at all. Under the penalty of roughly $800,000.

You seem to be mis-informed. Your/the sites allowed to use cookies, they just have to be for essential reasons. I.E. a userid cookie, to tell if the user is logged in. That their okay with. However, this law is mostly for ad tracking cookies, where it is completely not essential to use (even though, in reality, it is especially for web developers)

Also, for no reason, here's a funny webpage about it.
