Yeah, me too. I don’t collect stats on visitors anymore (using Google Analytics for example) because I now understand the privacy implications of doing so. I do use a simple impression counter but I capture no information (not IP, not browser, nothing). I definitely think about the CCPA and ADA laws, but I’m relatively sure they don’t apply to me. Still, I certainly think about them.


I personally use a self-hosted analytics app so I can still get some useful feedback without sharing my visitors’ data. I get pretty graphs, and my visitors get to keep their privacy.


I go as far as saying in the TOS that my sites are for users in the US.


Why? What would make you think this has any impact?


If the EU wants an extra-territorial legal framework, why can’t a US website owner do the same in their TOS? That’s a perfectly legal thing to do in the US.

The knife cuts both ways.


I don't think I understand the question.
