how are you guys tracking how many users are visiting your site, what pages they are visiting, with gdpr and all that privacy bullshit?
cookies are public and the user can find out they are being tracked
is there a way to track them without the user knowing?
 
You can use privacy friendly analytics like plausible or matomo with consent where required, you can track visits & page view without relying on third party cookies, just be transparent about what date your collect

Use a tracker that doesn’t invade user privacy such as Plausible or Matomo,you don’t need to track user activity covertly just to know what kind of content attracts more page views, Even trying to do this is considered a GDPR violation.

It is unnecessary to use any other advanced analytical tool , such as matomo and plausible. you will be able to calculate everything correctly without needing to spy on your users.
 
You can't track individual users directly based on their cookies, instead, you must rely on analytics tools that provide insights into aggregate user groups. However, data collection has become increasingly difficult as many modern browsers block cookies and user privacy protections are more strictly enforced
 
You can use privacy friendly analytics without cookies, but users should still be informed. Tools can measure visits and page views using anonymized data while respecting GDPR and consent requirements.

The reason why most companies resort to using either privacy-preserving analytics or first-party tracking rather than hiding their tracking efforts is that it is more likely to cause more trouble than it is worth.

u do not need to go about identifying every single user for usefful analytics. when it comes to something simple like views on ur pages nd referrals the use of privacy friendly analytics may suffice. but if u wish to track individual actions then this is when u have to consider the legal side of things. so i would advise against buillding such a system.
