You could write: "The ePrivacy Directive focuses on a consent model on cookies (which in some places has been implemented as explicit opt-in) and covers non-essential cookies, including analytics, OBA and ad serving optimisation. The ePrivacy Directive is silent on tracking, but is a lex specialis on the lex generalis of the Data Protection Directive, the latter encompassing an approach which is followed by most industrialised democracies except the USA. Most common interpretations of the DPD assume a consent requirement, at least for tracking across multiple parties." Regards, Walter
