I have been trying to avoid using Google products if I can for the last decade.
For website analytics I have used Matomo in the past. It's a great open source alternative to Google Analytics, but it's a bit of an overkill and overpriced for my needs. Cancelled my subscription last year. My traffic is not high enough to have been an issue since.
I have come across Plausible though today, and at 9 EUR/month for up to 50 sites, it's an appealing proposition price-wise.
And they market it as more lightweight than Matomo, while being privacy-friendly, EU-based (and compliant), and open source.
Just implemented on my 3 sites:
https://btobsales.eu/ - see !projects/btobee
https://notes.nicolasdeville.com/ - see !projects/notes
https://cv.nicolasdeville.com/ - see !helpers/cv
https://indexall.io/ - see !projects/indexall though this one is a zombie site now - I wish I had the time to work on it again.
Let's see...
Exclude yourself from analytics

Very happy with Plausible so far. Trying now to exclude myself from the analytics.
