- colesantiago 1y agoWhat do you suggest they do instead?
- me_bx 1y agoWhat do they need Google Analytics for? Is it a must-have or a nice to have? In my experience most small website owners have web analytics setup but barely ever check the reports. Some alternatives: * don't have web analytics at all * self-host a Plausible Analytics or other open source analytics solution * use the data from server-side access logs (for those using nginx, apache or other similar solutions) * use Vercel web analytics' free tier (relevant for kanadojo which appears to be hosted there) - more privacy friendly than Google Analytics.
