And that's why, as a responsible developer, I exclusively use Fathom for my own projects. As far as I know, they are the only analytics company who are correctly following the law here AND they always try to do more.

They completely isolate EU analytics from their US databases, which you can read more about at https://usefathom.com/features/eu-isolation

Aside from this, unlike other startup analytic solutions, they've actually spoken to lawyers to read through the fine lines of the law and ensure their solution is legal. Go get it!

Looks interesting, but for hobby websites with low traffic the pricing is slightly steep at $14/month - I pay $5/month for the hosting (:

Any alternatives?

Why bother with analytics for a hobby website?

This is the correct answer. There's precily nothing to gain from looking at the data from a small website.

analytics is important to grow an audience. A big website doesn't need to care about SEO or analytics or anything really. Metcalfe's law

You can still self-host a FOSS law compliant analytics suite. It will suffice for small websites.

If you don't want to pay it, then you probably don't need it.

I don't have experience with alternatives though - they just don't do as good of a job as Fathom does.
