GoatCounter

GoatCounter is an open source web analytics program that provides easy, straightforward website statistics without tracking personal data. It allows users to check, view, and understand activity on a website while avoiding the collection or use of visitors’ personal information for tracking. Its approach focuses on making web statistics accessible without monitoring people through personal data or following personal information as part of the analytics process. It is for people who need to understand website activity but do not want that process to depend on personal-data tracking. GoatCounter can be used as an alternative to the paid product Google Analytics. The main difference is its deliberate focus: GoatCounter provides website statistics without collecting or following personal information, rather than using personal data to monitor visitors. Its stated purpose is straightforward website activity reporting without personal tracking.
