Sure, but when it comes to cookies, consent is almost always required on the GDPR basis (other legal basis are rarely working). You're right to point to e-privacy, to which consent is central. But the latest draft of its new version states that (art.8):
1.The use of processing and storage capabilities of terminal equipment and the collection of information from end-users’ terminal equipment, including about its software and hardware, other than by the end-user concerned shall be prohibited, except on the following grounds:
[...]
(d)it is necessary for audience measuring, provided that such measurement is carried out by the provider of the information society service requested by the end-user or by a third party, or by third parties jointly,on behalf of theone or more providersof the information society service provided that conditions laid down in Article 28, or where applicable Article 26,of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 are met So Matomo can still do without the user consent (from what I understand, the relation between GDPR and e-privacy is no easy business). |

We are in agreement. It seems I wasn't clear enough in my original post, but this is my overall point. GDPR doesn't require consent, but consent is required because of ePD.

The new draft is not law yet. It's been 6 months away from passing for several years now. In the meantime, fines are still being issued under the existing law. Google got fined a hundred million euro last month in France, and that fine was very specifically ePD and not GDPR for a variety fo reasons.
