You can get very detailed and interesting statistics directly from your access.log. Zero JS, zero third party tracking, zero performance decrease.

I do this more than google analytics today, on one side because i want to respect my users on the other side because i too block google analytics (as many) and i want my data to reflect something somewhat close to reality.

Edit:// GoAccess is a favorite of mine https://goaccess.io/

If these logs link users together, for example, with an IP address, you would still need consent regarding GDPR.
