Great ecomchat earlier this week, and good to have the resources documented. As a purveyor of references, a bunch more.

From various regulators:

• UK ICO: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/
• Ireland DPC: http://gdprandyou.ie/
• France CNIL: https://www.cnil.fr/en/home . Check out their Privacy Impact Assessment tool that helps you complete this important bit of documentation: https://www.cnil.fr/en/open-source-pia-software-helps-carry-out-data-protection-impact-assesment

The Data Protection Network is amazing beyond belief. Free sign-up required and the resources are literally world-class. Example, for privacy policies: https://www.dpnetwork.org.uk/gdpr-privacy-policy-guide/

Important for Google Analytics, they have tooling you can use to ignore a hit for whatever reason, such as cookie nonconsent: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/user-opt-out (Yes this is yet another way current platforms can lose analytics data).
