I'd like to add https://pirsch.io/ https://pirsch.io/ as an alternative. The main differentiation from Plausible and Fathom is, that it can be used from your backend, so that adblockers can't block the script and you still get GDPR compliant statistics for your websites.
- heipei 6y agoHow is it GDPR compliant if you're sending the IP address of the visitor to that service? Not saying that it can't be used, and not saying that they would use / store the IP in a non-hashed way, but at the very least I will still have to disclose (and possibly opt-in approve) the use of that third-party service to my own users.
- marvinblum 6y agoThe IP is hashed and deleted after a day: https://docs.pirsch.io/privacy/ https://docs.pirsch.io/privacy/ If you embed a script into your website, the IP of your visitors will also get sent to that service.
- Symbiote 6y agoI think you agree with [1], which says the German data protection regulator doesn't think even "Cookieless pings" to an external service are allowed. It could still be GDPR compliant if you ask permission, but that's clearly not the intention -- the Pirsch homepage says "no cookie banner".

(See "Can I use...").
- dbbk 6y agoI'm sure Plausible also lets you set a custom domain for the script?
- marvinblum 6y agoYes, you can use a custom subdomain to serve the script, but browsers/plugins are working on blocking them too (Brave has implemented this already, I think). You won't get around tracking from the backend if you want accurate data.
