If it is illegal in one country does it make illegal in all other EU countries as well or is this left to individual law systems of each EU member state? BTW.

  As mentioned in another thread on this subject: EU privacy law is harmonized, there may be local exceptions but these are increasingly rare and over time I would expect them to fade away completely. Note that the ruling confirms the GDPR, the EU legislation.

  As a USAian, my rough impression is that it's similar to circuit splits in Federal courts. GDPR is a Regulation (not a Directive), so it's law in all EU states. But each country's court may interpret its requirements slightly differently. A ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) would be binding on all member states. And in fact most rulings around Google Analytics are dealing with the boundaries of a CJEU ruling, Schrems II.

  this kinda depends. I'm not 100% sure what kind of "law" the GDPR, but if it's a directive (which I think it is?), then each member state must implement a law that satisfies the GDPR requirements. Member states may chose to pass stricter laws than the GDPR technically requires, which could make something illegal in one EU country but not all the others. Also, enforcement may be very inconsistent, since it is mostly left to each member state to handle. EDIT: NVM, GDPR is a Regulation, not a Directive, so it's automatically law everywhere in Europe.
