Do analytics cookies need consent?

Analytics cookies typically require consent because they are not strictly necessary and are not used solely for transmitting communications over electronic networks. This entails that users must be informed about the deployment of analytics cookies, and their consent must be obtained accordingly.

It is important to note that as web analytics such as Google Analytics are never deemed necessary. Therefore, consent is required prior to their use. Additionally, the usage of Google Analytics should be avoided due to the underlying processing of personal data that is not compliant with OC 11.
