Do you need banners for self hosted analytics not shared with 3rd parties? I'd be fine with clicking through countless banners if that pushes the industry even just slightly in that direction.

nope.. that is the point of these laws - if you are doing decent stuff they don't really make a difference. if you are doing dodgey stuff you just have to tell people you what you are up to.. but dodgey people don't like telling people they are dodgey - hence all the moaning!
