Google Analytics has many more use cases than looking at vanity metrics to be replaced by a shell script. Something like https://hockeystack.com gets closer.

The landing page claims that it doesn't, but their own site has this message:

> Hey! We use cookies to track you through our website and use this data to optimize your experience! Thanks!

So apparently, their own software isn't good enough to optimize their own site. At least, not without cookies.

Other tracking scripts like facebook's require cookies unfortunately, so a banner is a must
