Zero Analytics gives you the traffic insights that matter: unique visitors, pageviews, top pages, referrer sources, devices, and countries (without ever collecting personal data).
No one ever said tracking people HAD to be creepy. By definition, most analytics tools are in fact super creepy (and in many cases, actually illegal), but it’s also possible to simply want to know how much monthly traffic you get, what content people like, and what countries you’re popular in, generally, without violating personal data.
