I really don't understand the problem with Google analytics. Anyone who is able to explain that in easy terms? So they are collecting data about me to show me better ads. Isn't that what I want? They compare my data to a collection ("look-a-likes") of others that match my data fingerprint. What's wrong with that? The way I understand it nobody is interested in me as a person (which is a bit sad, but that's a different story...).

The problem is not that it is possible but that it is done without consent or oversight.

  Isn't that solved by cookie pop-ups? And: Why is it important to consent?

    Because the European view is that your data belongs to you and using it requires your consent.
