Just to be clear, my concern wasn't about the stats aspects but about the 'third
parties' in combination with stats.
So kinda like using google analytics to get stats while in fact we're
specifically avoiding all third party services that could provide us with more
accurate info in favor of products/tools we can run ourselves and thus where
there are no '3rd party' involved.
