    I added Snowplow Analytics to a site with a lot of traffic. It was a very basic implementation, where data is collected with Snowplow, stored in google big query, and visualized in google data studio. The data is collected from the caching/web server combined with a 1st part cookie set in the user's browser.

    I did server-side tracking test in a rails app, where I implemented a tracking gem called ahoy and blazer for visualization. It is very easy to set up, but a bit hard to use. Blazer can do a very basic visualization of the data if you know your SQL queries.

  4. Analytics for Rails. Track visits and events in Ruby, JavaScript, and native apps. Data is stored in your database by default so you can easily combine it with other data.

  5. Free, privacy-focused web analytics.
    I am biased in terms of this one because I simply love Cloudflare. It's just an awesome product! Their analytics tool cloudflare web analytics is a privacy-first service that is very easy to set up even if you are not using Cloudflare already. Their tracker did get caught by my adblocker though, but it is not setting a cookie in the browser. Cloudflare is measuring traffic on your website at the edge, so it is very accurate.
