> They enforce that there shouldn't be tracking. Doesn't the 2009 ePrivacy directive exclude "strictly necessary" cookies [1], not "non-tracking" cookies? Like GDPR, I think no website wants to be the first to test what falls under "strictly necessary", under the EU directive and every country's specific implementation. They really should have listed specific exemptions on the directive. Here's hoping that the new ePrivacy regulation will have them and/or just repeals the cookie popup.
