And use plausible/fathom/goatcounter/... instead of something that uses cookies

  I use Plausible (it's fantastic), but it misses a lot of the insights I used to get with Google Analytics, including simple navigation flow between pages. This is fine. Insight is overrated. However I'm not optimizing for conversions, while Linode probably has professionals doing that full time. I can't imagine trying to convince my boss to blind the marketing team, especially since the effect is immeasurable by design. I can use Plausible because it doesn't threaten a whole department.

  Relevant legislation (say, GDPR) says nothing specific about cookies, just about using client-side state. Granted, relevant legislation also says privacy should be the default, and that you can't coerce people into accepting loss of privacy. Anyways, that would then need to use a, say, "local storage banner" for most intrusive tracking and we're back to square one.
