There's nothing misleading about that title, it's a valid and based on our legal analysis of what's been happening in the EU.

That said, I appreciate your comment, and I understand how you feel. Let me explain why I feel the "6 months in jail" blog post is valid.

Per the law in question: "Violation of a ban [on Google Analytics] issued by the Danish Data Protection Agency is punishable pursuant to the Data Protection Act, section 41, subsection. 2, no. 4, with a fine or imprisonment for up to 6 months, cf. section 41, subsection 1.”

Just because no one has been jailed yet, doesn't mean a law is not valid. The title of the blog post is directly related to the law we talk about in the blog post. So it's not misleading, we're simply relying factual, legal information.

We take privacy and privacy law very seriously, as it’s the cornerstone of our company, and the highest value that we’ve got. So we share these legal rules, not to generate misleading information or clickbait, but because it’s something we care a great deal about. And, our customers value our analysis of these privacy laws (through our lawyers and privacy officer).

Hope that helps shed some light on the blog post title. And we always appreciate feedback (it’s why most of the decisions about our software were made = feedback from folks).

We actually looked into this:

Funny as it sounds, using Fathom instead of GA could increase your SEO rankings :)

Your stats are wholly incomplete compared to Fathom, lack any kind of GUI, graphs, or date-based filters. I think the comparison in speed is like comparing an apple to an elephant :)

Nah, #Firefox4life ;)

Not all businesses use ads or data studio though. Those folks are looking for quick and easy stats they can use to run their business, like what content is popular, what referrals are driving traffic. And, if they're a business, they are making money, and at least some can afford to pay for expenses like website analytics. Like all software, it's not for everyone in every situation, but it is for certain folks in certain situations.

You're most welcome!

"best" is however you define the term :)

Agreed!
