I'm not associated with them at all, but Fathom are worth looking into if you want an analytics platform that respects user privacy: https://usefathom.com/



Hey, thanks for the shoutout. We're a great option for so many reasons but here are a few recent things"

* We allow our users to bypass ad-blockers and exclude themselves from tracking their own page views (https://usefathom.com/blog/custom-domains-embed-code)

* We are both full time on Fathom, bootstrapped (we've turned down millions in VC) and profitable (https://usefathom.com/blog/quit)

* We are adding in unlimited uptime monitoring on Friday (SMS, Telegram, Slack and email notifications)

* We run on auto-scaling infrastructure and are used by individuals, small businesses, governments and some of the biggest companies in the world


Without launching into moral judgement, I’d just like to mention that people who block your analytics code from loading normally are often sending you a pretty strong signal that they would not like to be tracked. Do you have something that might take this into account?


We don’t share that stance. Most people install ad-blockers to block dodgy advertisers, Facebook and other privacy-invasive websites.


Does Fathom honor DNT requests from visitors?


DNT has been abandoned, so we don't support it by default, but you can honor it by adding honor-dnt="true" to your script.
