We currently allow both: Explicit lists and wild cards. For the 
wild-cards we now agreed to use cookie matching rules to simplify 
implementation.

The question was: How can you trigger the exception API if you only have 
a tracking pixel.  The only technical answer we have is "you cannot" 
since informing consent on a pixel is hard. The consequence is that you 
need to work with your first party (or someone else who has real-estate) 
to trigger an exception that includes your pixel.

Does this clarify?
