The "Cookie Law" states that functional cookies are allowed at any time.
As I understand it, the rule is that cookies which are essential for the website to work. In roundcube's case cookies like the ones which store the position of the splitters on the mail, address book and settings screens are not essential for the website to work and so strictly speaking permission is required for these.
I decided that trying to make something which tries to disable these non essential cookies is asking for trouble. Apart from the fact that googiespell and tinymce do cookies their own way there is also plugins and other skins which might also write their own cookies. So a safer solution is just to tell the user that cookies are being created and asking them to acknowledge that they have seen the message by pressing accept. Then none of the behaviour of roundcube needs to be changed in any way. The latest version of the plugin is here https://github.com/JohnDoh/Roundcube-Plugin-Cookie-Opt-In
