What do you use for privacy focused analytics?


Hi,

What do you use for website analytics? I am working on a small side project and I have used Google Analytics in the past but am looking for something a little more privacy focused, what do you use?

I would like to know how many people are coming to my site and a bit of a breakdown of geo, referrals, and such.

For your purposes, I think all you need is a web server log analyzer. Back in the day, I used Webalyzer to do this. I haven't done any sort of analytics since then, so I don't know what's the best one now. A web search turns up a ton of modern options, though.

Has anyone tried Plausible or Rybbit? Is cookieless important to you or is it a nice to have?
