This question rather belongs to the opt-back-in discussion as there the 
exchange is happening. There is an (unspecified) interface informing the user 
that an ad-network wants an exception. We are discussing here about the scope 
of that exception. So Shane's answer has as a prerequisite that there was 
already an exception granted. But your question is rather in the field of the 
opt-back-in mechanism where, in order to get the exception, the EU system 
would require informed consent. This is rather ISSUE-59 (see the thread there)

Best, 

Rigo
