How are cookie queries handled on Read the Docs?

Currently, Google Analytics can be used for Read the Docs documentation. However, a cookie is set for this. In order for this to be compliant with the DSVGO/GDPR (European Data Protection Act), a cookie query must be introduced, e.g. by means of a cookie banner. The question that now arises is how such a banner can be implemented on a Read the Docs documentation, or whether this is possible at all? Are there any plugins or extensions to use? The documentation was written in reST using the Sphinx documentation generator.

    I suggest you contact RTD at privacy@readthedocs.org. See https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/privacy-policy.html and https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/legal/dpa/index.html – Steve Piercy Nov 11 '21 at 07:03

    @StevePiercy I did this recently - the reply was not exactly helpful. Essentially, I was pointed [here](https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/legal/index.html?highlight=gdpr). – s-m-e Nov 12 '21 at 19:59

    Currently, the response from read-the-docs that i received was that no solution is available, but they are investigating a solution so that a cookie banner can be added. – Brockoli472 Nov 15 '21 at 11:36
