Cookies notification in European Union countries
European Union (EU) laws require you to give EU visitors information about cookies used on your blog. In many cases, these laws also require you to obtain consent.

As a courtesy, we have added a notice on your blog to help meet these regulations. The notice lets visitors know about Google's use of certain Blogger and Google cookies on your blog, including Google Analytics and AdSense cookies. Learn about Google’s privacy practices and how Google uses data on partner sites.

How to change or disable notice
If you have edited your blog in a way that hides this notice, it will be your responsibility to notify your visitors about cookies used on your blog and if necessary, obtain consent. Also, if you have added other blog features that set cookies, including third-party analytics or advertising services, you’ll need to provide additional or a different notice.

It is your responsibility to determine, based on your cookie use, what else would be appropriate. If you choose to use a different notice, be sure you still comply with Google’s EU user consent policy. Learn more on generating cookie notices.

See the notice
To see the notice if you’re outside of the EU, view your blog and change the country code, for example blogspot.fr or blogspot.co.uk. If you use a custom domain, you won't see the notice outside of the EU.

Amazon's example from .co.uk site way down in the footer, no google style pop up given:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html/279-4585131-9873307?ie=UTF8&nodeId=201149560

I think that as long as you have a link on your site to a privacy policy that rambles about your "usage of visitor" data you are fine.

I use piwik, took their privacy policy and edited for my own use and added a few sentences here and there.
 
I've also first noticed that on a blogger blog I use for rss feed backlinks, funnily enough it makes blogspot worth less than nothing with that pop up drawing attention.

On galaxy s3 mini it covers half the screen. I know you just have to click Got it, but it's a pain in the sand.

But doubt that anybody bothered about this will go after minor upstarts. They're more likely concerned with giants, like g and banazon.

Note about banazon, saw a link to their disclaimer on their site around their header img, so I was wrong about the footer only link.

We talked some about it there. I did just see it on a blogger for the first time. A big bar across the top. I'm sure that's just to satiate the powers that be for now and it'll get toned down in the future.
