You mean like website visitor statistics or something else?

For myself: I only do the most basic AWStats-style review these days. It feels more like reviewing basic overviews of server logs.

For others I work with: I offer them ethics-based processes and training and bring it up when appropriate. It's important to have some structure around this process and generally I find that people appreciate it. Nobody wants to be big brother if there's another way to get what they want or need.




Thanks for the answer and yes, exactly; website visitor statistics.

Just like you, for my own projects, I've been trying to rely on server-side generated analytics till but there are some valid concerns from my team about data sets missing for the projects we work on.

We're going to try and self-host Plausible.io since it's open-source, doesn't require cookie consent, and seem to value privacy while offering valid data points for us to be able to optimize our website experiences.
