Why would you need consent to track anonymous data from users, without sharing the data to 3rd parties? What's the difference between recording an event "clicked_purchase" and displaying the click event in a graphical way, as a recording or heatmap?

One is necessary to perform the action requested by the user. The other one is an collecting addtitional data that you have no reason to have.
Thanks for the reply!
Do you know of any legal document mentioning this, that storing the clicked element is allowed, but not the click position? They can be both used to run the business and improve the product, thus being in the "necessary" category.
