    Regarding forbidden countries, it’s not forbidden in the Netherlands, yet. They will announce a verdict in a form of a report by the end of 2022 [1]. To give people an option and pink something else over Google Analytics, I have built an alternative, Simple Analytics [2]. It doesn’t use cookies or any form of tracking and you get still the useful data that 80% of the website owners need. [1]... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
  • Italian watchdog bans use of Google Analytics
    It is. Most startups in the EU have to use more and more businesses in the EU. The selection is little, so way more changes to succeed if your EU based and serve both markets.

    We're using Simple Analytics mainly for privacy reasons. I did a bit of research beforehand as we're in a quite 'sensitive' industry.

Plausible and fathom do (only for a day or so, but still do). https://simpleanalytics.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

External sources with reviews and comparisons of Simple Analytics

Privacy-oriented alternatives to Google Analytics
Simple Analytics was my original second contender for the analytics of this blog. The $19 a month starting plan with 100k pageviews is on the more expensive side, but their yearly deal gets you a better price than Fathom at just $9 a month.
Lightweight alternatives to Google Analytics
One is the minimalist Simple Analytics product, which is a cloud-based tool created by solo developer Adriaan van Rossum; it has a clean-looking interface with only the few key metrics, similar to Plausible. Another is Fathom, which was open source initially, but the current version is proprietary (although the company hopes to start maintaining the open-source code base again in the future).
