One of the interesting paragraphs on the ICO site......
"The Regulations state that once a person has used such a device to store or access data in the terminal equipment of a user or subscriber, that person will not be required to provide the information described and obtain consent (and discussed above) on subsequent occasions, as long as they met these requirements initially. Although the Regulations do not require the relevant information to be provided on each occasion, they do not prevent this."
This suggests - in my mind - that asking the users permission to use a cookie could be part of a sign-up process. And once signed up you would not need to ask again.
