Key takeaway for Flanders

Many organisations still use Google Analytics. Some of the complaints are also directed against websites active in Belgium. It is likely that the Belgian data protection authority will follow the reasoning of its French and Austrian counterparts. It is therefore advisable to stop using Google Analytics and to start looking for an alternative.
