Is Tableau Dead?
I try to avoid these tools wherever possible, given the choice I'd always go for tools like Blazer.
https://github.com/ankane/blazer
No such luck in my current role, Looker and PowerBI are both in use by different bits of the org and nobody has the ability to delve into the underlying figures.

Evidence – Business Intelligence as Code
And it's Open Source: https://github.com/evidence-dev/evidence
I'd also highly recommend Blazer https://github.com/ankane/blazer if you are into the Ruby on Rails world. It's super solid, and it's been an indispensable tool integrated to all my projects.

Italian watchdog bans use of Google Analytics
I use Ahoy too, but I don't have very good visibility into the data. I should spend more time building queries and creating charts. I should probably set up blazer as well: https://github.com/ankane/blazer

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.
What are some alternatives?
Rails DB - Rails Database Viewer and SQL Query Runner
PgHero - A performance dashboard for Postgres
Redis Dashboard - Sinatra app to monitor Redis servers.
Seed Fu - Advanced seed data handling for Rails, combining the best practices of several methods together.
SchemaPlus - SchemaPlus provides a collection of enhancements and extensions to ActiveRecord
SecondBase - Seamless second database integration for Rails.
Upsert - Upsert on MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite3. Transparently creates functions (UDF) for MySQL and PostgreSQL; on SQLite3, uses INSERT OR IGNORE.
Lol DBA - lol_dba is a small package of rake tasks that scan your application models and displays a list of columns that probably should be indexed. Also, it can generate .sql migration scripts.
Polo - Polo travels through your database and creates sample snapshots so you can work with real world data in development.
BatchLoader - :zap: Powerful tool for avoiding N+1 DB or HTTP queries
Large Hadron Migrator - Online MySQL schema migrations
