Article here - Italy's privacy watchdog has come to a similar ruling to those in Austria and elsewhere. The site should be updated to reflect this.

Hello, we have want to suggest to add Onduis Analytics, as a privacy-focused web analytics.

Norway's DPA published their preliminary conclusion that the use of GA is not in line with the GDPR: https://www.datatilsynet.no/aktuelt/aktuelle-nyheter-2023/varsel-om-vedtak-i-google-analytics-saken/ (use a translation tool of your choice)

Even though Norway is not in the EU, they are part of the EEA and bound by the GDPR.

A final conclusion can be expected late april or later.

One to add to the map @corywatilo @smallbrownbike (we might need to zoom it out a bit as Norway is cut off atm!

As per its notice: https://www.datatilsynet.no/aktuelt/aktuelle-nyheter-2022/google-analytics-kan-vare-ulovlig/

Like the dutch story, this is in response to the Austrian ruling but also references other complaints.

Here is the (French report), https://www.cnil.fr/fr/utilisation-de-google-analytics-et-transferts-de-donnees-vers-les-etats-unis-la-cnil-met-en-demeure

I will see if I can find news article about it in English too

I’m seeing a bug. If I click the button for alternatives, the alternatives page doesn’t load. It works if I refresh it, but it stays blank otherwise.

I think it's great that there is an alternatives page.

What I think would be even more welcome is a clear difference between stateless / sessionless tracking (things like Fathom) vs. things that require some sort of profile (read: even if this is an anonymous profile, by the fact of bucketing, anything that uses profiles requires consent as you will be able to deanonymize this) such as Matomo.

Under the current version of the GDPR collecting analytics without personal information (and thus without any form of profile-based collection, even if anonymous) can be done without consent as... it does not fall under GDPR, where any form of analytics collecting (and/or tracking) personal information (and thus those that build a profile, even if anonymous) do require a legal basis such as consent.

I would suggest taking the this snippet from the readme;

"An open source project to store rulings for Google Analytics use by country."

Tech stack could be appended to the earlier qoute, since its very common:

"An open source project to store rulings for Google Analytics use by country. Powered by GatsbyJS and hosted on Netlify."

Goatcounter is also a very minimal alternative to Google Analytics
