If I understand correctly, this sort of trickery is forbidden by the GDPR, but so far no-one has seen any consequences for doing do.

Last August the ICO (British regulatory body) stated that you can't run Analytics such as Google Analytics without a GDPR standard of consent. They've yet to enforce this despite tens of thousands of non-compliant websites.
- Silhouette 6y agoMeanwhile, there has been talk of permitting first party analytics cookies without requiring explicit consent for at least as long as the GDPR has been around. IIRC, even the ICO previously indicated support for that position, though I can't immediately find a reference for that now.
