Apologies for taking a few days on this.

I think I've done a reasonable amount of testing, viewing and posting  both as a registered and unregistered user and changing permissions around on my test forum to allow both "Anyone" and "Registered" users to post (clearing cookies between sessions), all with the default E-Privacy setting set and unset. All seems to work as I would expect.

The Acceptance screen itself seems to meet all that is required, as I understand it (and that may not be saying much!) under the directive.

My only reservation concerns the adding of additional countries to the "cookie_countries" macro. I feel the comment needs to give more detail about adding countries. For example can a user enter either "The Netherlands" or "Holland". Can German users specify "Deutschland"? Also, because this add-on is meant to cover the legal requirements of the entire EU, is there an single "country" term to use for the entire EU?

Obviously, because not all who administer Nabble applications will be up to finding and editing the macros, the ideal would be a specific screen with checkboxes to cover all of these options, but I recognise that that can probably wait until other EU-based Nabble users request the feature.
