There was no snark. It was just the shortest way that I could find to convey the message that "the best way to comply with laws that govern data collection and data processing is by not collecting data and not use third-party services that collect user data in the first place.
It's the same thing with the cookie-banner law, by the way. I am running a service in Europe and I can proudly say that I have no cookie banner on my site. You know why? Because I don't have any tracking cookies on my site in the first place.
Maybe we have different definitions of snark then. When I read

It reads quite snarky to me and you could have conveyed your point differently.
I don't disagree with your points and I agree that the OP should ideally not use Google Analytics, but I do think there are better ways to express this.
> I am running a service in Europe and I can proudly say that I have no cookie banner on my site. You know why? Because I don't have any tracking cookies on my site in the first place.
Exactly! I do the same thing and as strange as it might sound: I'm also proud on the fact that I don't serve cookie banners. As in, literally experiencing the feeling of pride for something others might find banal and innocent.
