GDPD, an Italian regulator established under the Data Protection Act, transfers user data to the United States, a country where websites using Google Analytics-related services do not have adequate levels of data protection. Announced that it would violate the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The GDPD describes the ban on Google Analytics as 'the result of a complex investigation conducted in collaboration with European privacy authorities.' As a result of research, websites using Google Analytics collect 'interactions between users and websites', 'individual pages visited by users', and 'information about the services provided' via cookies. GDPD notes that it became clear.
In addition, the data collected by Google Analytics via cookies includes the IP address of the device used by the user, browser, operating system (OS), display resolution, language used, date and time when the website was accessed, and so on. It is said that these are transferred to the server in the United States.
In addition, GPDP has issued the first order to comply with EU regulations within 90 days to website administrator Caffeina Media Srl following the findings.
The GPDP said, 'Given the numerous reports and questions received by government agencies on this occasion, the Italian web, both public and private, on the illegality of data transfer in the United States via Google Analytics. We are calling attention to the site administrator. ' In addition, GPDP not only bans the use of Google Analytics, but also encourages us to reconfirm that the usage of cookies and other tracking tools complies with the EU's GDPR.
