Quote of the episode from Rick: "It's good for us to realise Google Analytics makes them no money right. It all serves to get people in on the ad network, and that kind of conflicts with the privacy thing"
Quote of the episode from Dan: "One of my nerdy pastimes is to go onto a website and see if their cookie banner even works, because everyone's got a cookie banner now"
Quote of the episode from Dara: "If we just started from fresh today and we had no knowledge of what was there before, we'd probably find a way and we'd work quite comfortably within the legislation"
