GoatCounter

GoatCounter is an open source web analytics platform available as a free hosted service or a self-hosted app. It gives site owners meaningful, privacy-friendly traffic statistics without tracking visitors through unique identifiers, and it is lightweight enough to add only about 3.5K to a page.

Data can be collected through a single script tag, a JavaScript-free image tracker, backend middleware, or logfile imports. It records browser, location, screen size, referring sites, and campaigns, and identifies unique visits without cookies using a non-identifiable hash. The interface works well with assistive technology such as screen readers.

GoatCounter can run on your own server without restrictions, with statically compiled binaries for several platforms and a Docker image. It stores data in SQLite or PostgreSQL and includes TLS with automatic ACME certificate generation. You own your data and can export it and cancel at any time.
