Why Switch from Google Analytics?

Privacy laws like the GDPR are put in place to preserve the privacy of internet users. Data protection agencies in France (CNIL) and Austria (DSB) have already stated that the use of Google Analytics violates GDPR law in their countries.

Additionally, web browsers are limiting tracking mechanisms, and ad blockers are used to block Google Analytics, making their data less and less accurate.
