The linked advice seems to have been written by Sir Humphrey Appleby :)
It makes a good read. It implied that use of (eg) Google Analytics will be ignored. But we must remember that it is not the law, and that the ICO is a prosecution authority in its own right.
Is it likely that one can be prosecuted for adhering to that advice? No. Is it possible? Yes.
