Companies must stop using Google Analytics
Yes, you should absolutely not be using Google Analytics. They don't need more data, your users don't want to see cookie banners and most of you really don't need 99% of the data that you can filter through...
I can't recommend Fathom (https://usefathom.com) enough. They have a huge focus on privacy-first tracking. You don't need to show a cookie banner and you can still track events etc.
If you want $10 credit for signing up, use https://usefathom.com/james but otherwise, https://usefathom.com
Seriously, Google Analytics sucks. Use anything other than that.

Quick Question: Backend engineering intern
It depends on what metrics exactly the analytics want to aim. Maybe it's indeed better to dev something just for this use case. But as he said, “track it ourselves” I'll avoid Google solution and use something like Open Web Analytics (In general case, I don't use Google Analytics any more).
