The current best-practise guidance[1] suggests that you split your cookies up into 4 types: essential, performance, functionality and tracking. All types should be selectable, but the first three could be opt-out by default as long as you display a notice. Only tracking cookies need be opt-in, and I’m fine with that.

BT have a nice implementation of this, or at least would have if they’d turned off tracking cookies by default (hah). I assume that their code flexible enough that they can do this on the deadline. Look at the bottom right of http://www.bt.com/ (or any page on the same domain).
