To your point, server logs have the info.

If every web client stopped the tracking, you, as blogger, could go back to just getting analytics on server logs (real analytics, using maths).

Arguably state of the art in that approach to user/session/visits tracking 20 years ago beats today's semi-adblocked disaster. By good use of path aliases aka routes, and canonical URLs, you can even do campaign measurement without messing up SEO (see Amazon.com URLs).
