Wondering if anyone has good examples of what they use on their website in order to notify their prospects of their use of cookies/tracking code? If anyone has a great example of how they use this within their website pages and/or emails they send, would you please share? thanks!

Try a UK site. It will alert you that they may collect cookies. Check out dailymirror

British Telecom implements a very clever solution: http://www.bt.com/

The dialog goes away after a certain amount of time, assuming user accepted the policy.
Users can then manage their preferences.

Is this required by law?

Come to the Summit! I & Stefan & Autumn will be doing a talk about this specifically!

Plus search for "EU Data Privacy directive" in the community and you'll find a much longer thread on this topic.

Sherry, the answer to your question is yes. 

It is important to highlight it does not matter where the company and/or website is located.
The law applies to the jurisdiction where the recipient is located.

Please review the following article for details

Here is what we have.  It seems that sections 2 & 3 cover it but it's a lot less in depth than what I've read here...

The "cookies" section is appropriate if users must acknowledge and confirm the acceptance of all terms and conditions, usually through a popup, checkbox or a yes/no dropdown list.

That would be an opt-in, complying with the legislation.
