The European ePrivacy Regulation is an important amendment to the existing ePrivacy directive of 2002. The amendment is needed to cater for new technological and market developments, such as the current widespread use of Voice over IP, web-based email and messaging services, and the emergence of new techniques for tracking users’ online behaviour.
The European ePrivacy Regulation is “lex specialis” to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Lex specialis is a Latin phrase that means “law governing a specific matter”. The EU accepts the legal doctrine “lex specialis derogat legi generali” (a special law overrides laws that govern general matters).
