I wonder what "use" means here. Is it now illegal for them to log your traffic at all? I think that would be the ideal way to phrase the law, you can't even write to a logfile/dbms much less do anything with that data unless the user opts in.

There's probably a "as necessary to provide the service" exception more than large enough to encompass internal logging.

It is section 4
This is an accurate statement. The relevant exceptions are in section 4, and are quite broad.
