Brew commands send data to Google Analytics

It is not worth it. I would really want a good way to protect myself as an Internet user from this law that the EU is enforcing on me. To protect myself not from Facebook, not from Google, but from the EU. It also gets in my way as a web developer. The law is not simple. 100 words sentences of law jargon are not simple. Many, many pages of such sentences is the opposite of simple. To be honest I have never really understood the law and I don't think I ever will. Even keeping track of it is far from simple.

But according to this website: http://ec.europa.eu/ipg/basics/legal/cookies/index_en.htm Cookies clearly exempt from consent according to the EU advisory body on data protection- WP29pdf include: (...) third‑party social plug‑in content‑sharing cookies, for logged‑in members of a social network.

So, I think what you say about Facebook is not true.

I was talking about non-logged in users. The shadow profiles.

The German version of the law is just as simple to read as any newspaper or book you read in German high school, so at least I haven't had an issue before.
