> Other analytics businesses use this technique (for example based on IP address). This seems privacy friendly but is considered fingerprinting. For which you need consent. Do you need consent to count unique IPs that visit your site in the UK under GDPR? Aren't there laws that say unique IPs do not correspond directly to an individual (in the context of piracy), and yet for simple website analytics you count IP as uniquely identifying a user? Am I required by law to change the default config of apache or nginx to not log the IPs? Or is it enough if I promise not to analyze the logs?
