On 10 February 2022, the CNIL issued a formal notice to a website operator using Google Analytics cookies to comply with the GDPR and more specifically with the CJEU Schrems 2 ruling on the transfer of data to the US.
The CNIL considers that as long as the US authorities can access users’ data, the use of Google Analytics is not legal. The Authority has therefore asked the website operator to comply with the GDPR and if necessary, to stop using Google Analytics cookies.
