We have a wonderful solution for that in the form of the DNT header.

We can simply load the Google Analytics code conditionally by doing something 
like:

<script>
if (navigator.doNotTrack !== “yes”) {
   … insert the standard GA snippet here ...
}
</script>

Personally I think we should make this standard practice.
