IANAL, but have worked on GDPR a fair bit.

Google Analytics is already GDPR compliant, as long as:

* you are not pushing any unencrypted customer data to them in the clear

* you're careful regards who has access to your Google Analytics data

You can (and most businesses will) argue that you need to know how your website is used. It's a completely standard practice that doesn't put user privacy at risk. Moreover, Google has already offered an opt-out to Google Analytics globally, and you would be covered by that. As such, you don't need them to opt-in.

This isn't about law it is about ethics.

I wouldn't like it if someone followed me around meatspace with a clipboard all day. I don't like it online either.

That's not the best analogy - it's more like someone has two chairs in their waiting room and they note which chair is more popular among people waiting, so they can replace the worse chair with a copy of the better one.

Except that this business saves money by allowing a representative of a third party to take the notes. The third party then notes down who sits in the chairs, follows them into the appointment and follows their client to the next business and do the same there.
