Hey, yes, there are good privacy‑compliant analytics tools (Matomo, Plausible, Fathom…) that cover visits, pageviews, sources, goals, etc. But if you want something really tailored and future‑proof, you can build your own tracker: gather raw logs & minimal client data, anonymize everything, define exactly the events & metrics you need, and even bake in AI/ML to auto‑detect insights. That way you control exactly what you measure, where data lives, and ensure full compliance with privacy laws — dropping GA without losing what matters most.

This is probably one of the easiest tools to customize to your needs. It's open source so you can host your own instance of it making it very affordable and it has plenty of privacy tools including honoring do not track requests on a server side basis so no additional coding necessary and you can easily tell it to anonymity guest ip addresses so there would be no way of a breach compromising the integrity of your privacy goals
