There's provisions to make sure mandatory tracking, profiling is explicitly opt-in, and that there's a real alternative. That might be a fee (eg Gmail could let you pay x/month to disable all targeted ads - or rather; they might have an opt-in gratis/free service that had ads/tracking).

I don't think that's true; they can offer a paid version or a free version, but they can't offer a version "paid with tracking", even if there's an alternative.
