Under EU Directive 2009/136/EC a user's permission is required before Arc can store any data in their browser. Is Arc obtaining that permission, or just looking for forgiveness by allowing users to Opt-Out?



a.k.a. The EU Cookie Law (doesn't just apply to Cookies) End users must be asked to Opt-In, if they reject then it's ok to deny them access to the page, just like if they reject Ads.


Gonna have to specify a section/article of the directive you are referring to to get an answer from op/the creators.

They aren't gonna read a thousand page directive to answer a question about legalities on a hacker news forum.
