Google states it uses an anonymous tracking system (there’s no “personal data” being collected). So it seems that GDPR might not have much of an impact on its usage. Nevertheless, Google has stated their commitment to complying with applicable data protection laws. They said they’re working hard to prepare for the new changes and have placed keeping user information safe as one of their highest priorities.
