I just looked it up in git: This blog had used Google Analytics from 10th October 2014 until I removed it again on 25th of January 2018. Originally I had removed it because the data wasn’t of much use to me, rather was a liability.

But to satisfy my curiousity, I just added the tinylytics Snippet into the footer of this page. They host in Europe, are GDPR-compliant, and do seem to collect only minimal info (they don’t seem as focused on moving people through marketing funnels as others are). And they provide to option to publicly show the data, so effectively you get to see the same reports I do.

This is an experiment, if I can get something positive out of it, I might go ahead with analytics. Or remove it again, if it turns out to be of no use to me.
