Are there any reasonable, self-hosted alternatives that can provide me with information on how visitors use my website without submitting them to cross-site tracking?

Check out Matomo [1] (previously known as Piwik) or goaccess[2]. Matomo offer a web dashboard, while goaccess is terminal-based.

Actually, GoAccess has web interface as well.

Matomo (previously Piwik) is a decent alternative

I particularly like Matomo as it offers the option to honor the browser DNT (Do Not Track) preference.

Curious: Is that what you use for mailhardener? How much does it cost to keep it running?

[LeonM]

Yes, Mailhardener uses Matomo to track basic statistics on our website. Mostly just visitor counts and mapping where traffic comes from.

In terms of costs I'd say it's neglectable, it runs on a container in our existing infrastructure. Required resources and maintenance are minimal.
