#94Is anyone using an alternative that provides some basic analytics and isn't likely to get me in legal hot water in the future? I've already offloaded Google Fonts due to the German ruling. I'm happy to self-host piwik if needed, but could that fall foul of regulators?

You don't need GA for a website either. Many websites probably don't even need any form of analytics at all.
Do you really think we are in a better place now with GPDR and all these annoying cookie banners all over the place?

#96Google Analytics is the best analytics tool out there. By getting their companies off GA, European governments are weakening their industry. This probably holds true for many SAAS products. Many of the best are from the USA. Forbidding European companies to use them is a desaster for the European internet industry.

#97There are plenty of privacy respecting analytics out there - Plausible, Matomo or Simple Analytics. Depending on what your actual needs are, you can also just use something like GoAccess, logwatch, Splunk or multitail to check your logs and use those for analytics information. In one of my previous jobs the marketing department complained about Google Analytics not working on one of our pages. GA hadn't been working…
Who are these people foaming about GDPR?

#100CrUX data will be next. Using to be Chrome considered illegal in Germany.
No, you download chrome. You agree to the analytics when you install/first open it. This is different from going on the site of your local company and feeding data into Google analytics involuntarily. The relevant legislation is about whether or not you agree to data being collected and shared, and the issue is that US companies are essentially data funnels for NSA & co.
They are the same.
