If you have time, could you clarify how you can tell that? I just opened it in Europe and the blurb seems to pass “these cookies are for internal self-improvement of the product only” (see below). Is your problem that google is managing the analytics so could be spying, or that the stated use isn’t essential? I guess my assumption was that “non-essential” meant “built for the purposes of 3P advertising”

But only for necessary things - the purposes that you can Google Analytics are never necessary to the running of your site.

But are these third party…? Maybe I’m just way behind. If you use cookies to track usage of your site, isn’t that kinda second party?

No. The web site and the user are the first two parties. They have a relationship.
Third parties are parties who do not have a direct relationship with both parties.

Non non essential means to make the web site work for the user.
Getting information about home many hits the web site has or how it performs are not essential uses of cookies.
preferences are not essential as you can just use the default.
i usually accept cookies for Preferenceis but not for measurement and not for any sort of advertising.
