Well I am also a website owner!
I think that for most web content it is 'published' and you don't really have a say about what is done to the content - I may buy the Daily Mail just to wrap my chips in for example! Certainly there is a good case for implied consent if the content is available for anyone to view. BUT firstly I don't believe this applies to certain types of content from eg webmail and password protected forums, and secondly I hate the idea of the cookie mangling, which is firstly likely to cause all kind of problems that they haven't anticipated yet, and secondly is not playing by www standards and spirit which is ultimately likely to cause problems for everyone.
