I’m pretty principled. I block as much tracking as I can in my personal use of the web because what I do isn’t anyone’s business but my own. So, the idea that I have to put trackers on my site is pretty noxious to me, and I have thus far refused.

This isn’t an ad and I don’t want my personal account associated with my business, so no URLs, but I would like to know what you all think: is this something worthwhile that people will appreciate, or am I letting my principles guide me off a cliff because nobody cares that much?

    A valuable contribution to the thread nonetheless! The more names provided, the less research I or anyone else reading here will have to do to find them, and of all the gifts I could receive saved time is amongst the greatest (👉 ゚ヮ゚)👉

      Okay, more info then. I have used selfhosted shynet, I loved the UI. And am using rybbit’s official instance. Both can provide analytics without any cookies. Shynet works even when users have JavaScript disabled. Both can track UTM links too.

        Oooh. Analytics without cookies or JS is very attractive, and UTM links might be useful. I’ll check out Shynet too, cheers!
