- markosaric 6y agoThis is probably a better overview of what makes Plausible a privacy-focused tool: open source, can be self-hosted, no connection to adtech, minimal data collection, no cookies, no persistent identifiers, no personal data, no cross-site/device tracking etc https://plausible.io/privacy-focused-web-analytics https://plausible.io/privacy-focused-web-analytics (I'm the co-founder)
- warkdarrior 6y agoOK, so not quite privacy-preserving in the cryptographic sense, but more of a matter of degree. Plausible Analytics collects less data than Google Analytics, but not zero.
- aabbcc1241 6y agoThe key difference I appreciate is no cross site tracking. If I'm using a service I won't mind that service knows my traffic pattern. (That's the point of having an account on the service)
