You can use google analytics legally in all of these areas that have deemed it illegal, because they're just saying it is illegal for common public-facing internet usage. You can still use google analytics for, say, corporate intranet sites in Denmark if you'd like.

The GDPR doesn’t make any difference between subjects that are employed by the entity collecting the data and others.
- V__ 4y agoSure, but that is not what Google is advertising, and it should be Google's responsibility to inform users about that. Exaggerated example: If I would buy a car which by design isn't road legal, and this design flaw would cause an accident killing someone. Normally the carmaker would be responsible. The carmaker couldn't say, well technically, it's only for use in your backyard, but you have to be a lawyer to know that, and our advertising isn't reflecting that at all. Somehow, Google get's away with such logic.
