Insights.io is a competitor to Google Analytics that stands out for being much less invasive regarding the privacy of visitors to the sites it is used on.

By not depositing any cookies, it collects less information while still retaining what really matters: which pages are visited, for how long, etc. This tool allows us to do away with the “cookie consent” banners that often detract from our web experience.

To gather this information, Insights.io relies on a JavaScript library published by the creators of the service. I took the liberty of creating a fork of it that filters out robots and other visitors that we do not want to include in the final statistics.
