If you have a large audience from the EU (GDPR), or California (CCPA), yes.
I’m pretty sure I’m wrong about the CCPA, as it’s more for businesses, and not a personal blog.
I’m not a lawyer, but privacy policy generators exist and it’s easy to slap it in a footer. I have them on my blog. Then again, I probably serve like 1000 visits a year and don’t have ads or anything. The analytics is for fun like seeing where people come from or what content is popular.
I also have those annoying banners but set them for a year, and only for those visitors from EU/California.
Hmmmm… do you have any more info? Is it as soon as I use any sort of analytics I need a privacy policy?
This really depends on where you live and what the laws there are. But most analytics usually already come with a policy you can copy and paste.
If those analytics do not process personal data, then you don’t.
At the very least, don’t use Google Analytics. To my knowledge, that’s currently illegal in the EU in general. See, for example: https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/03/google-analytics-sweden-gdpr-fines/

Again – not a expert.
