Personally I believe EU should target browsers not site owners for this. At least by doing so we would get a standardized UI and the ability to opt-in or out.

This approach -- either by law, or by some "do not track" flag broadcast to web sites is the equivalent of walking through a busy city with hundred dollar bills hanging out of your pocket, with a sign hanging around your neck requesting that no one takes your money -- all when a simple wallet in your pocket would be adequate.
There are serious privacy issues when it comes to the internet and tracking. The "solutions" we've seen targeting cookies in both the US & EU would be laughable if they did not threaten to add considerable legal obligations over even the most casual of web site owners.
