Maybe if you elaborate on your application of this EULA you may receive
more specific advice.
How an application does it and a web site differers greatly. An
application is compiled and interacts with the OS's API directly to
create a dialog box. With a website you would need essentially a login
form and you EULA page would log the user on to protected pages.
