Italian watchdog bans use of Google Analytics
I've slowly started ripping Google Analytics out of my Rails projects and replacing it with https://github.com/ankane/ahoy.
It's so much better! I can just use SQL to see what's going in and not get overwhelmed with 100's of visualizations and complicated dashboards.

Cookie-based tracking is dead
I did server-side tracking test in a rails app, where I implemented a tracking gem called ahoy and blazer for visualization. It is very easy to set up, but a bit hard to use. Blazer can do a very basic visualization of the data if you know your SQL queries.

How would you build/record/store analytics data ;
https://github.com/ankane/ahoy The ahoy gem is pretty useful for this. Data model is pretty simple, it will track unique user sessions and metrics you specify will be associated with these sessions. The gem also parses the user agent, so it will indicate whether a session was on mobile, desktop or tablet.
