Except, you’re wrong. Ga data is never joined with other data sets.

  What I was referring to is the sharing of remarketing lists. One example: https://analytics.googleblog.com/2015/06/remarketing-lists-for-search-ads.html https://analytics.googleblog.com/2015/06/remarketing-lists-f... https://analytics.googleblog.com/2015/11/share-google-analytics-data-and.html https://analytics.googleblog.com/2015/11/share-google-analyt...

    Well later in the essay you write that google analytics is merged with ad data in an unqualified statement. That’s what I was reacting to. Remarketing lists is a feature that would be google neutral. I could imagine such a feature working for self hosted analytics.

      And I mentioned in the essay that "In many cases, advertisers managed “remarketing” lists of “anonymous” visitors that was being tracked by cookies from a central console without thinking of the privacy problems, treating visitors almost as numbers." I wonder if such a use would comply with the GDPR BTW.
