“Tracking cookies from social plug-ins, third-party advertising and analytics clearly require the data subject’s consent. Even first-party analytics, which ’are often considered as a “strictly necessary” tool for web service operators, are not strictly necessary to provide a functionality explicitly requested by the user and are consequently, in principle, subject to the requirement of consent.”
At the risk of sounding like a broken record... this is what I've been saying for months, if not years: #NoConsentNoTracking is exactly what this statement says - yes, even for first-party tracking; yes, even when you think you have a legitimate interest. ... The decision whether a brand has a legitimate interest in tracking & collecting data should be from the data subject's perspective and their sole prerogative. Only and always.
