Easy Cookie Law helps you to easily comply with the European cookie law. It shows a customizable notice to the user until he accepts or declines the use of cookies in your website. 
The message, position, and style of this notice can be easily modified through the plugin menu.
This plugin is good for your SEO since it will not add any CSS stylesheet or Javascript file. Everything is inline and kept to a minimum (<2KB).
It is also totally compatible with any cache plugin since only JavaScript code is responsible checking if the user already accepted the use of cookies, to show and to hide the banner, without any use of PHP, so your websites can be cached to HTML without a problem.
If you use Google Tag Manager, you can put the required scripts on your website directly with this plugin.

The Cookie Law is a new piece of privacy legislation from Europe that requires websites to obtain consent from visitors to store or retrieve any information on a computer or any other web connected device, like a smartphone or tablet.
It has been designed to protect online privacy, by making consumers aware of how information about them is collected by websites, and enable them to choose whether or not they want to allow it to take place.
It started as an EU Directive that was adopted by all EU countries on May 26th 2011. At the same time the UK updated its Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, which brought the EU Directive it into UK law.
Each EU member state has done or is doing the same thing. Although they all have their own approach and interpretation, the basic requirements of the directive remain the same.
This plug-in will create a small banner at the top of the guest’s browser that greets them with the message:
<pre><code>We use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website. If you continue without changing your settings, we'll assume that you are happy to receive all cookies from this website. If you would like to change your preferences you may do so by following the instructions <a href="http://www.aboutcookies.org/Default.aspx?page=1">here</a>
</code></pre>
You can change this text from within the plug-in settings page, and as of version 2.0 you can change the visual style, either by selecting a preset theme or by creating your own. You can also float the message over your website header, or have it push the header further down the page so that it is not obstructed.
This plugin relies on implied cookie consent and you should ensure that this method is correct for your website. If you are relying on implied consent you need to be satisfied that your users understand that their actions will result in cookies being set. Without this understanding you do not have their informed consent. – http://www.ico.gov.uk/news/blog/2012/updated-ico-advice-guidance-e-privacy-directive-eu-cookie-law.aspx
