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.

Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (January 2024)
Location: Ireland (Galway)
Remote: yes
Willing to relocate: yes
Technologies: Go ("Golang"), Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Linux, Unix, PostgreSQL
Résumé/CV: https://www.arp242.net/cv/cv-martintournoij
Email: [email protected]
I've been using Go as my primary language for the last seven years, although I don't overly care about the specific language and have experience with a wide variety of tools and languages such as Python, Ruby, PHP, C, JavaScript, Lua, and probably some more. While I've mainly focused on backend in the last few years, I also have written plenty of frontend code over the years, from the "pre-jQuery" days to VueJS.
In the last few years I mainly focused on GoatCounter (https://www.goatcounter.com) with the occasional contract job, but I'm keen to start working on something new for the longer term.
I've got quite a bit of code on my GitHub, so you can take a look at that if you want: https://github.com/arp242/

Using Analytics on My Website
I suggest using analytics that you can self-host, like https://www.goatcounter.com/ and renting a cheap vm to run it on along with your blog. It is way better, you have more control and you can be sure that javascript tracking is working for 100% of people using the site since you have full control over it not getting blocked by adblockers.
-
Ask HN: Is Google Analytics that useful?
I'm self-hosting GoatCounter and using it across all my websites.
Apart from controlling my data, I also have more accurate visitor statistics, as it doesn't get picked up by script blockers, unlike GA.
-
What has your personal website/blog done for you?
I first used basic google analytics but found it too invasive/heavy so I switched over to https://www.goatcounter.com/.
For comments, most solutions were also too heavy, paid or had ads, but I finally found https://giscus.app/.
So while I did add these 2 features, I'm happy with those variants that I managed to find.
