I've moved away from using any kind of script embedded in my webpages for tracking and instead just use Goaccess (https://goaccess.io/) to analyze my logs. Though there are obvious caveats with this, you need to install it, configure the server logging to match it and so on. But personally the benefits outweighs the cons, it all runs on the server, you are the sole owner off all the data and this tracking doesn't require any kind of JS on the webpage.

Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen one of these. It's like the olden days with Urchin (what eventually become Google Analytics). They analyzed log files prior to the Google acquisition. IIRC you could buy whatever the current version was (e.g., Urchin 2) for a flat fee and use it forever. There were free alternatives, but I liked Urchin's UI and features the best at the time.

Anyone remember what the price was? I want to say it was something like $60-$100, but my memory could be conflating it with something else.
