E-Privacy Regulation, which is part of the reform of the personal data protection legislation in the European Union (EU), has not been finalized since 2017 despite all efforts in the European Union. Nevertheless, the framework of the Regulation can be determined from all discussions and changes made to the draft. Based on this framework, a comparative review between the E-Privacy Regulation and Turkish legislation gives remarkable insights. The Turkish legislation does not directly focus on personal data protection in electronic communications. Issues vital for the regulation of e-privacy, such as cookies, are also not included in the scope of the Turkish legislation. Therefore, legislation lags behind EU legislation in terms of the privacy in the electronic communication sector. In a world where data flow is increasing significantly, and digitalization is growing like an icefall, Turkish legislation in the field of electronic communication must be updated in accordance with the requirements of the digital world for Turkey in order to establish robust and sustainable economic and political relations with all countries, especially the EU.
