- CWuestefeld 8y agoI'm not a fan of GDPR, but no, it doesn't mean that. It only means that GA can't be used in a way that allows you to correlate the data back to a particular individual. You can still use it in aggregate, and you can even follow individual threads through the system; you just can't know who the user was.
- qwerty456127 8y agoI admit this is a very amateurish view but I don't really understand why do people need Google Analytics or anything like that at all. As a webmaster you can log every request a depersonalized way recording the fact of a request to a particular HTTP resource from a particular country originating from a particular website as a referrer at particular time. You don't need any 3-rd party service for this and this doesn't mean tracking any particular user.
