Websites subject to GDPR use Google Analytics left and right. Even government websites do this. GDPR has good intentions but enforcement is lacking severely.

- robertlagrant 4y agoGDPR isn't intended to stop its use. It's intended to inform users of data sharing and provide them a mechanism to subsequently delete.

- mrguyorama 4y agoActually, the longer GDPR has been around, the more I see websites popping up with a comprehensive modal that gives gentle explanations of what each toggle does. Hell, now some websites even default to "non-required" tracking off, and literally do not require you to do anything to limit the data they harvest from you. And I'm pretty sure this is some third party's drop in solution.

- Nextgrid 4y agoIt's intended to ask users for consent before stalking them. But lack of enforcement means that in practice implementations use a non-compliant popup that forces users to accept (and is often technically flawed in that the tracking scripts are loaded regardless of the user's answer).
