I think a privacy policy should be more comprehensive than merely a policy about cookie handling, so a Pics-Label header that's solely useful for labelling cookies seems pretty useless to me. General privacy policy is addressed in by the P3 in the W3C. This only addresses cookies because the new cookie spec implements privacy policies that are incomplete. A standard PICS Label header is used because privacy policies will eventually be indicated using PICS labels...
