> tools such as Mixpanel, Google Analytics, etc. This is exactly the reason I use an adblocker - Google Analytics isn't a "tool," it is literal spyware.

  I also dislike Google Analytics for the same reason. However, I manage several websites and I still want a way to monitor their trafic. And I don't know any other tool that is as easy and complete as GA. Till now I resist the temptation of adding it to my webpages, but I am looking for a solution. Do you know about an alternative?

    You could use something on the server side like AWStats.

      Back before google analytics, we did 90% of what it does using software that parsed server logs. I’m sure there are still plenty of tools out there that do that.
