Browsing @daviwil's web sites I found they use plausible analytics and taking a breif look I found it really privacy-friendly.
I saw this project a few times before, but didn't pay attention. Looks like a great tool for improving site structure and UX.
@abcdw @daviwil I will also happily vouch for Plausible. It’s also possible to self host, although I haven’t tried it yet (they recently got ARM support working so I can maybe play with it on my Pi cluster). It’s also great that you can just set the analytics to be publically accessible, POST custom events, and so on.

@abcdw @daviwil Plausible looks like a great project, I would use it for a mid-to-large projects.
For small-to-medium sized projects I like Shynet, which for me was much easier to set up and maintain.
I analyze several open-source web analytics projects in this blog post: https://blog.fidelramos.net/software/privacy-respecting-self-hosted-web-analytics
