Actually the ICO page itself presents a great example: if you go to https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/principles/ https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio... you get: > Necessary cookies > Necessary cookies enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You may disable these by changing your browser settings, but this may affect how the website functions. > Analytics cookies [toggle On/Off] > We'd like to set Google Analytics cookies to help us to improve our website by collecting and reporting information on how you use it. The cookies collect information in a way that does not directly identify anyone. For more information on how these cookies work, please see our 'Cookies page'. The implication is that a consent dialog would not be required if they weren't using Google Analytics or any other third-party.
