Why would you not have access to your logs? Not having access to logs doesn't even make sense to me. We honor hippa and gdpr and we can access logs. Beyond that, I am a proponent of structured logging and log aggregators that can help you see trends and analyze the logs, like Splunk or, to a lessor extent, DataDog.

So you can setup GA but you can't check your web server logs?

That covers everything hosted on GitHub Pages, as one example.
