New decoded.legal (npub1tzp…58wg) blogpost: **Web analytics tools using JavaScript: 'cookie consent' and the UK**
tl;dr:
> I am not at all persuaded that a claim that "no cookie notice is required" stacks up under English law when an analytics tool uses JavaScript on a user’s device.
> But if you are serving the JavaScript from your own site, keep the information collected from the tool on your own site, and you use it solely for your own analytics purposes, then - for now, at least - it seems unlikely that the UK’s data protection regulator will care.
