I might be wrong, but GDPR was supposed to force businesses to provide a DNT option unless completely vital to the business. If that is true, most sites are liable for forcing you to click "yes".

Update: I went and found this[1]:

> this provision means that companies will process only the data absolutely necessary for the completion of its business and limit access to personal data to only those employees needing the information to complete the process consented to by the data subject

If your business model involves keeping statistics on users use of your site is that necessary for the business?
"involves" doesn't mean "would be dead without"
Can you run ad supported businesses in Europe? What does would be dead without? Analytics are used to refine / target site design etc
