Thanks for your insight. That’s interesting – and would make implementation of such a law particularly complex. Would individual sites have to declare that they’re using GA’s cookie and ask approval to use it? Or, as you suggest, would a single approval to Google be sufficient.

I wonder if the whole third party cookie issue has even been considered by legislators. In any case, I would have thought that legislation is unnecessary, as all leading browsers can already be configured to disallow third party cookies like Google Analytics and even first party cookies for the ultra-paranoid.

So, technically, users would need to agree to accept the one GA cookie, and not agree to the use of that cookie per website using GA.
