  Is opt_out GDPR compliant?
  • hello_asdf 9y ago
    It appears so. https://gdpr.report/news/2018/02/01/gdpr-google-analytics-2/ https://gdpr.report/news/2018/02/01/gdpr-google-analytics-2/ This page carefully describes what data they are going to be using, so I don't see any reason it would violate it especially since they're not passing any PII.

      Thx for the article, but I can't see how you come to the conclusion you draw based on it. It does no clarify the opt-in/opt-out stance at all. In contrast ( https://searchengineland.com/report-google-asks-publishers-to-manage-user-data-consent-for-ad-targeting-in-eu-gdpr-294917 https://searchengineland.com/report-google-asks-publishers-t...) states "Use of personal data cannot be based on implicit or opt-out consent. There must be “a statement or a clear affirmative action” indicating a willingness to share the information. Google will reportedly be capturing that consent for properties that it controls, such as Google.com and YouTube. But the company is asking third-party publishers to collect consent in situations where Google’s technology and ad targeting are behind the scenes (see below). " Which to me as a layman reads you need to have users opt-in to consenting to be used in Google Analytics if it is used in your product/site.

        Yep, you're right. Then no, I don't see how Homebrew complies with GDPR as it's opt-out.
