Hm mislim, da je malo nesporazuma, vsaj kolikor sem jaz razumel zadevo.
1) Ne gre se za third party cookije, gre se za vse cookije (recimo tudi tisti, ki ti jih naredi magento za trackanje visitorjev in dodajanje v cart, tist, ki jih ima WP za aventikacijo komentatorjev,...)

"The 27 EU member states have until 25 May 2011 to enact national legislation implementing these requirements. Further details on each requirement are set out below:"
"At present, the e-Privacy Directive allows the installation of cookies on a user’s equipment on condition that the user is provided with clear and comprehensive information about the processing undertaken through the cookie and offered the right to refuse such processing. This requirement has most commonly been implemented through a section in the website privacy policy describing what information is collected through the cookie and how it will be used together with instructions or link to instructions as to how to delete and/or refuse cookies."
"The amendment to the e-Privacy Directive replaces the right to refuse such processing with a requirement to give consent to such processing. Interestingly one of the recitals to the amending directive states in respect of this provision that where “it is technically possible and effective…. the user’s consent to processing may be expressed by using the appropriate settings of a browser or other application.”
