Keep in mind though it is not only Analytics. If you run Google AdWords and they are targeting EU, if you have FB OpenGraph on the site, or Instagram... All these are traps to collect visitors info and it has always been your responsibility to inform visitors about this.

@ITVV - don't forget to put on shoes

Steve you can inform visitors vis the usual cookies info and put in your Terms&Conditions etc.

Technically that FB data / Analytics data is stored on Google / FB servers, so as long as they are GDPR compliant and secure etc - then you should be ok on that front.

Ive spoken to the Information Commissioners Office in the UK and they are very friendly re GDPR, they acknowledge people may make mistakes etc - and it wil take a while to bed in. As long as you can show you have reasonable steps etc - they are more than happy to tell what you need do to get compliant - that's as far as UK businesses are concerned anyway.

What will be interesting is that the US govt think they will have jurisdiction when it comes to Google. That is - there is data on a Google server in Ireland, the US want to see that data etc - that will be an interesting outcome
