Millions of Google Analytics customers with suddenly blank histories going back (years?) will notice quite a bit, whole classes of employees basically just make charts about historical performance.

Attribution in advertising is something which can last months for some products, and it's doubtful that a large proportion of companies import from GA and will lose their ability to gauge current performance compared to the past.



I agree with your position that people will notice and that some attributions will be affected.

It seems like we’ve still given cake to the glutton, though, just without a cherry on top.


Cynically, I expect this will go the way of tthe cookie popups themselves: the law will be blamed, not the transgressor.
