Yes, from a legal perspective you shouldn’t be tracking people without their consent.
It’s incredibly unlikely anything will happen to you, but from an ethical perspective what you’re doing isn’t great.
Why do you even need tracking on a personal blog?
- jerrygoyal 6y ago> Why do you even need tracking on a personal blog? Nothing much, just basic need like total views, demographics etc to see how my site is performing and from where I'm getting visitors.
- iamacyborg 6y agoSee, turning on demographics is the real problem. Doing that means that not only are you tracking folks without their consent, you’re also sending that data to Google for ad targeting purposes. The reality is that you don’t need GA on a personal site unless you have thousands of pageviews a day. You’re not learning anything meaningful from the small amount of data you’re collecting.
