Okay, I understand that using Google Analytics when we're so pro-privacy is a bit of a weird choice.
We've realised that self-hosting our analytics might be a better choice. I've created an issue[1] to discuss this matter. Ideally what we'd want is something as close to GA as possible - real time analytics being reasonably important.
Note: we were aware of the implications of using GA on the site, but since we offer the ability to disable them very easily we didn't think it was a big deal. That's a mistake on our part, so let's discuss how to fix it.
