UK Cookie Law - are there now thousands of "illegal" Drupal 6 sites in the UK?

Drupal 6 tends to set an anonymous cookie by default. I recently did a quick check of UK sites and found many which are indeed setting cookies but don't have one of the available compliance modules installed. From my understanding of the law, the standard D6 anonymous cookie may be exempt if it could be proven that:
-
it is required for proper use of the site (probably not the case) and
-
isn't used in a way that would identify the user on returning to the site such that displayed contained would be customised for them in some way.
