Just to wrap this one up, I have had some feedback from our new Media Director on this topic.

He points out that everyone was perfectly happy to use our website without any problems before this EU nonsense came into force. Nothing has changed except our now being required to solicit the users' acceptance of our legitimate use of appropriate cookies -- sonmething they did previously without knowing or caring about it. We have never received any queries or complaints questioning our use of cookies either!

With regard to pop-up free pages, I'm told that such an approach is technically not possible.
The whole SOS site has been developed with cookie technology at its core, as has practically every site in the world. The effort to make a non-cookie site is massive and totally unaffordable, utterly impractical, and quite frankly totally pointless and unnecessary.
