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.

From what Simple Analytics says they collect on their website, it sounds like the only information missing from GoAccess (or server logs in general) is screen width.

I'm able to get the screen size with goaccess. I placed a bogus <img> in the document. e.g.,

<img src="/images/1px.png?"+screen.width+"x"+screen.height+"x"+screen.colorDepth+" />
