Google Analytics alternative that protects your data and your customers' privacy

Matomo is not trivial run on prem, there are lots of stuff that do not work on larger installs unless you do lots of manual optimization, what those optimizations are is not obvious. The problems only shows after some time when you have to redo reports for multiyear periods, or handle hug of death.

That said people love analytics, it is a powerful tool.

More alternatives: https://european-alternatives.eu/alternative-to/google-analy...

Half of the "alternatives" there are dead (website is offline) and the rest is not free. Those are hardly alternatives, more like band-aid solutions.

I'm going through the list at random (I'm on the market for such a service) and none of them appear offline so far.
