I see still see many UK sites with opt-in or excessive clicking to 'confirm' you haven't opted-in. I'm hoping that fines will eventually start to roll in and this will change, but I'm not holding my breath.
Incidentally, if you're interested, the ICO has a survey to collect views on privacy for children. It's open until 5th December. However, when I clicked the link on the ICO homepage it said I'd already completed the survey. I had to go to the survey homepage and click on the surevy from there.
It's a long survey, I think about 30 minutes if you take your time, but well worth doing.
