The cnil.fr page hosting this article seems to use self-hosted piwik, which is a good sign that the regulators think it's ok.

(I wonder why they need to collect analytics information for this page at all.)

It's only ok if you self-host on a server in the EU, right? It'll be interesting when different regions of the world start having mutually exclusive laws about where data has to be stored.

In the EU/EEA or in a jurisdiction that has adequate level of data protection.
