Ask HN: Is Google Analytics compliante with the new regulation in Europe?
Hi,
As the new regulation will get effective shortly, I have a few questions:
- Will you still use Google Analytics on your website?
- Is it legal to use it without requesting the user's approvale?
- What are you planning to implement to continue using it?
Thanks.
- jnorthrop 14y agoAre you talking about the ICO Cookie Rule[1]? My bet is that no one will give it much attention until they actually start enforcing it -- which they might not. But then again, I'm in the US so it doesn't apply to me. I'd love to hear the opinions from those managing sites in the EU.

- idont 14y agoYes. It is a real nightmare if you have AdSense or Analytics. But oddly nobody speak about it in Europe. Seems like nobody care...
