While clicking around a website’s privacy policy, I found an option “if you don’t want us or Google to use analytics, click here” more or less.

It’s Google own opt out extension, https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Is it that simple to block sites use of Google analytics? I mean, otherwise, are Privacy Badger or Port Authority doing the same thing, just not Google’s tool? Is Google’s a honeypot or Trojan horse you think?

    Right, my thought exactly. How ironic though, right? It’s contradictory IMO, and maybe legally they have to have something existing and that’s why is buried several links down? Idk.

      Legally speaking it has no value, the extension is more of an attempt to seem compliant, without actually being.
