           | My main takeaways and why I personally use Plausible are
           | their script is lightweight, it uses no cookies and therefore
           | is by default GDPR compliant and it respects my visitor's
           | privacy by default. Also a big point, Matomo is way more
           | complex than Plausible and personally overkill for all of my
           | use cases.

       | Cloudflare's Analytics script and Google Analytics he's got 4
       | different measurements now. And according to his follow-up
       | article they all return different results.
