Can I add Google Analytics cookies to the essential group?

Essential cookies are a site's basic form of memory, used to store the settings selected by a user on a given site. As the name implies, they are essential to a website's functionality and cannot be disabled by users.



On that note, neither Marketing nor Google Analytics cookies are necessary for the correct functioning of a website. They will not show the same behavior as the essential group, and marking them as essential is against the GDPR law.
