add goatcounter analytics
I currently hold 7 days of logs on the webserver, including User-Agent, referrer, and IP address information. That information gets processed by goaccess and sent by email. Those reports contain Personnally Identifiable Information (IP and User Agent, mostly) and so are not properly anonymized. Goatcounter is an attempt at fixing that. The data it keeps is somewhat anonymized, and it is believed (by the author) that this makes it GDPR compliant. I use both a Javascript tracker (to get stuff like resolution) and a pixel tracker (for those who turn off Javascript). Ideally, I would just parse logs and not bother people with extra queries, but goatcounter doesn't support parsing logs for now, so that will have to do. I do not make this decision lightly. I believe goatcounter will be a *better* system for showing which of my posts are popular than the current approach, and will therefore be a net win in the privacy of my users.
