Fathom Analytics
Privacy-first analytics with no cookie banner — the easy hosted pick.
40
sovereigntyFathom is a simple, privacy-first analytics service and the closest easy replacement for Google Analytics: one script, a clean dashboard, and no cookie-consent banner because it sets no cookies and collects no personal data (GDPR/CCPA compliant out of the box, with optional EU-isolation routing). It's a paid hosted service rather than open-source, so it's here as the honest “just make it work” pick alongside the self-hostable champions — you trade self-hosting for zero maintenance.
