EU Cookie Law
-
I’m still confused. How can I find out what cookies my blog uses, that way I know what I need to write on my blog to warn my readers. I’ve not set anything up on the blog to collect cookies, it’s already in WordPress, I’m finding this whole thing rather frustrating cause no one seems to know the ‘actual’ answer, they just say implied. This is not helpful and I am getting a bit frustrated. Can anyone help me?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The following is from our legal team:
We’re aware of the recent EU privacy directive and the related UK Cookie Law. As of now, the relevant authorities haven’t issued concrete guidance on the actions that are necessary to comply with the law. We’ll be watching as the situation develops and may make changes to our services in the future, if required.
For now – since sites hosted at WordPress.com do make use of cookies, you may like to flag this fact for visitors to your site. One way to do this is to add a text widget to your side bar and include a link to our privacy policy (which contains information on the cookies that we use). You might also inform your visitors that they can refuse all cookies by changing the settings of their browsers.
Our Privacy Policy can be found here:
Instructions for adding a text widget to your site can be found here:

Thank you, that is extremely straight forward and helpful. I do know that it is because the authorities have not issued the relevant guidance, however, I feel I need to do something rather than ut my head in sand. Thanks again.
Cheers
