I noticed the same for my bank too. Wrote a blog post complaining about it and got a call from them. Essentially their argument was that "we have a confidentiality agreement with Google and that is sufficient to ensure that your data won't be compromised."

So glad I have uBlock Origin.

I might be wrong but I think Ublock origin does not block google analytics, atleast with default settings. I have installed ghostery for that. Will check and confirm.

It does if you load the Ublock - Privacy list. However I can't tell you whether it's enabled by default.

It does block Google Analytics by default.
