Self-host analytics for better privacy and accuracy

Not quite true though... Piwik, by default, includes EasyList, which has the following block rule:

/piwik.$domain=~piwik.org,script

This will block your self-hosted piwik.js file, unless you perform some redirection trickery.

It's very easy to rename (or symlink) the piwik.js script to something else that is not blocked by any filter list. And unless you're a major site nobody will bother creating a special rule just for your self-hosted Piwik.

The default Piwik Sandstorm install has "piwik" nowhere in the URL.

Yeah, unfortunately it shows up as https://ls4an735rucvfa6ps6bb.filippo.sandcats.io/embed.js - it's getting to the point where I need to start performing actual content inspection.

I run Piwik on my server log files. This is my right as a website owner / system admin. :)
