The decision not to use Google is certainly one which falls within the group here, and I would not disagree with the decision not to use it, but there is no basis at this point, IMO, to continue spreading the idea that it is a violation of German law.
indeed, a quick Googling around seems to confirm your thoughts - if some settings are made, it seems to be no problem legally. Mea culpa, I didn't follow the topic anymore, since we have been discussing it the last time (when, at least judging from today's search results, it was still considered to be a legal problem, so at least I was not totally wrong :-).
I'll keep out from the technical discussion for the while. My preference is to collect all data locally, but if there is indeed no legal concern anymore, it is no blocker to use another tool, of course.
