Unfortunately that (quoted) line is incorrect see this page by the dutch privacy authority: https://www.autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl/en/themes/internet... It is based on this 2019 ruling also by this same authority (unfortunately only available in dutch) https://www.autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl/documenten/normuit...

While this ruling does not specifically only use the ePrivacy directive (it is instead based in GDPR), laws do not exist in a vacuum.
