Investigate alternatives to Google Analytics #2149
Comments
Hi @robyn I keep getting notices about the Google Analytics changes that are upcoming. This is the final week to update Google Analytics tag (UA-) to the Google tag (G-) using the GA-4 platform for all sites. Starting July 1, tracking will stop on a site if a new GA-4 property is not connected. My impression from looking at our site is that Google might automatically create GA-4 properties for our existing ones, but I’m not sure of that. Could you look into it and try to be sure we don’t drop our tracking accidentally, especially on core sites like dataone.org, search.dataone.org, arcticdata.io, the KNB site, and the hosted repository sites? cc @nickatnceas |
- switch from using universal analytics with analytics.js to google analytics for with gtag.js - move analytics logic into a model that handles initializing gtag, checking if google analytics is enable, sending events, etc. - create a base analytics model that can be extended in the future to use a service other than google analytics Issues #1709 and #2149
You may try Swetrix instead, I'm building this project. It's a well-maintained, open-source and GDPR compliant Google Analytics alternative. |
In France, we are using Matomo for this purpose, in case this can help... |
CDL has started using Matomo for all the services, including EZID |
In light of privacy concerns and changes in data privacy regulations, it's becoming increasingly important to consider alternatives to Google Analytics. This task entails exploring other analytics services that are privacy-friendly and can still provide us with valuable user and event insights. Ideally, it would be great to use an open-source, privacy-respecting, and self-hosted solution.
Some key factors to consider during the investigation are:
One possible service that has been discussed so far is Plausible Analytics
