Ask HN: Basic web analytics without cookies or GDPR consent?

This is exactly what my tool does, thanks for mentioning @btown. I built Simple Analytics with simplicity and no tracking in mind. That resulted in no annoying cookie banners and no GDPR contracts to worry about. I will make sure my platform does not use cookies now or in the future.

Can't do unique users or pages-per-visit without having cookies. But for statistics that don't assume any connection between requests, you could use something like https://simpleanalytics.io/simpleanalytics.io

Does what I want, thanks.

You can disable Google Analytics' cookies, and enable IP anonymization. Not my favorite thing to do, but worth it until I'm making enough money to pay for something.
