Hate Cookies? Introducing Aurora, 100% Cookie-Free Javascript Open Website Analytics.
Based on the source code, looks like they have a hash that uses (user agent string, ip, website id) as inputs. The data stores is primarily derived from the user agent string. This is probably insufficient to differentiate users on a large network network with the same ip, but probably okay for small networks. There’s other fingerprinting techniques that others pointed out that could be used to further differentiate.

Any Google Analytics Alternatives?
I think a single Google Analytics alternative is pretty hard to pick considering that GA can be used to very much varying extents.
For simple and "detailed enough" insights, I enjoyed using Plausible (https://plausible.io/) in the past.
For more in depth analytics that give you a detailed view into your own product, PostHog.com seems to be by far the best and most popular option out there.

We need to Speak about Google Code Quality
I could do the same exercise with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, but luckily I don't need to, since Plausible already did. A piece of advice, rip out Google Analytics and use Plausible instead. It first of all doesn't destroy your website, and secondly it doesn't violate the GDPR - So you can embed it on your site without having to warn your visitors about that they're being spied on by Google.

Plausible as an alternative to Google Analytics
I just swapped out Google Analytics with Plausible for AINIRO.IO. It’s only been a week, but so far I am super jazzed about it. First of all, Plausible doesn’t use cookies, so I can completely drop all cookie disclaimers and popups I had because of GDPR. Second of all, the site scores significantly better on load time. This results in a 10x better user experience for my website visitors, while making sure the website is still 100% conforming to GDPR laws.

Simple no bs persistent notepad
No clue what you mean, browser cache might even clear itself without you doing anything manually. This thing makes no sense.
Nowhere ever did it say Tech Demo anywhere, not in the HN headline, not on the page itself. No, thanks. And even as a tech demo, there is nothing impressive going in. It is stores shit to local storage, I guess. Lol, I just looked this up, and it was in Firefox on 2009 already? WHAT? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/loca... I never used it myself directly, but I remember reading about some API that kind of is the new version of cookies that can store more and better and I think that is it. 2009, I would swear what I think about was newer, maybe I am mixing something up, maybe not.
It has unnecessarily tracking from the comment above, not sure if it even sends all your notes to https://plausible.io, and I do not care. For me, this fails as a tech demo or whatever the fuck It's supposed to be. Sorry to not get all excited about everything posted here. In 2009 it for sure would ;)

Using Analytics on My Website
If you already use Posthog, Web Analytics has been in Public Beta for quite some time.[1]
If I remember correctly, CloudFlare Analytics does not need you to register your domain with them. I personally feel keeping domain registration coupled with your DNS provider is not a good idea.
Plausible[2] has an Open Source self-hostable version but is not so updated in sync with their SaaS version.
Umami[3] is another simple, clean one. And, of course, as many have suggested, Matomo is the other well-established one. If you want to avoid maintaining a hosting routine, a lot do the hosting out of the box these days. PikaPods[4] was good when I tried and played around for a while.

Ask HN: What is the least obnoxious way to ask for cookie permissions?
You log the IP address, referrer, user agent and the requested page URL but you don't set a unique cookie to identify the user.
This still gets you plenty of actionable analytics information: where geographically people are located (via GeoIP), what pages are most popular, what platforms (including desktop vs mobile) people are using.
I've been using https://plausible.io for analytics on a bunch of my sites for a couple of years now and I honestly don't miss the extra level of detail I got from cookie-based analytics I've used in the past.
