I saw the discussion the other day about the "Buy European" website having Google analytics, so it reminded me of this. Plausible uses no cookies (therefore no cookie prompt) and can be entirely self-hosted for free if you don't want to use their paid SaaS (supposedly EU hosted, but I haven't tried).

I get that a lot of people on the Fediverse are anti-analytics, but if you're running a website for a business, no matter how big or small, you likely need some form of analytics and I think it's nicer if you can avoid the (admittedly powerful) Google suite for this.

Oh and it's FOSS too. It uses AGPL, so you may want to read up on whether or not that "infects" your own code with AGPL.

This is what we use for our database as well (self-hosted). :)

Oh yeah, the discussion I found was old. I was Kagiing something somewhat related with the "fediverse forums" filter checked. Great on you for changing!

Oh I think you mean the other website. Our website never used Google Analytics.

This seems so good, especially as itโ€™s self hostable. Thank you for sharing!
