Facebook have changed their privacy policy and ask for consent to track via external sites through things like the 'like' button. Google Analytics is largely anonymised and deletes data after a set time now, including any custom user data that you may set up yourself. You have a legitimate reason to track people interacting with your web property. Also, if a site is a personal project, not a business, it doesn't even come under GDPR as there's a household use exemption. (Not sure how a household use interacts with things like FB but let's assume non-third-party processing of data is exempt - e.g. comments with named user labels on a personal blog) This feels like a whole lot of fuss over a very shallow reading of one of the most carefully thought-out pieces of privacy legislation the world has seen. It's got flaws but these aren't them.
