We host Matomo (formerly called Piwik) ourselves. And we also host the fonts we use ourselves. Since we are a healthcare based startup we prefer not to share any data outside of our controlled servers.

We even disabled the cookie based tracking inside Matomo at the cost of not linking different visit sessions. Same session visits are fully tracked though. Saves us a cookie warning.

Funny thing... I went on their site (fr.matomo.org here in France) using Safari. All images are not displayed (? on each images). Tried on Firefox, displays the images fine... Checked what kind of images are these, all .webp ! :D They have improvements to do if they want to be "google free" themselves...

This is the way! Glad you went that way, still struggling to get everything set up like this for our company. But marketing will come around the corner soon... ;-)
