Why is it that Google Analytics is often listed in “strictly necessary cookies”? I’ve never known that to be a requirement for handling cookie based seasons or logins.



Back in the old days, before FF started inserting GA shims, having `onclick="ga_track(); doTheThing();"` was fairly common. So, if disabling GA broke the site, then from their PoV it was necessary

IOW, I'd bet it was damn near a lie


Because product managers and/or marketing people consider their salary "strictly necessary".
