This blog and other related websites use a GDPR-friendly Goatcounter instance for analytics, hosted on my Contabo VPS, using default settings. The tracking method does not use any cookies. No data is sent to third-party services (e.g. Google Analytics, …). No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected.
In short, GoatCounter doesn’t store IP addresses, the full User-Agent header, or any tracker ID. It also doesn’t store any information in the browser with cookies, localStorage, cache, or any other method.
The collected data is used to see which pages are being accessed.
