Analytics without Google

After rebuilding this site and my work site, I wanted a view into whether people were visiting the sites, and if they are, which pages they were interested in. I have simple needs: How many people are visiting When are they visiting What are they visiting If they’re referred from another site, which I don’t want to know anything else, nor do I want to give any of my visitor details to Google. When I started looking into alternatives I came across It’s not me, Google, it’s you - from GA to Fathom by Jeff Geerling. Those who work with Ansible, may recognize him for his Ansible roles or his book (Ansible for DevOps). Both are highly recommended.
