No, you download chrome. You agree to the analytics when you install/first open it.

This is different from going on the site of your local company and feeding data into Google analytics involuntarily.

The relevant legislation is about whether or not you agree to data being collected and shared, and the issue is that US companies are essentially data funnels for NSA & co.

So why cant i ask my website users to AGREE on google analytics usage the first time they arrive? Its up to them to accept or not.

You download a website when you visit it. Both analytics and chrome phone home information about your activity.

They are the same.

Technologically, yes.

But if there's one thing we've learned from the GDPR, what matters is consumer perception, not the underlying tech. A web site isn't a browser.
