I need a privacy-focused, cookieless analytics tool for a static site hosted on Netlify. The main contenders are SimpleAnalytics and Fathom. My primary criterion is the simplest, most automated implementation.
I'm leaning towards Fathom because their official integration for Netlify seems dead simple. You just connect it in the Netlify site settings. For SimpleAnalytics, I'd need to manually add the script tag to my site's HTML, which is fine but an extra step.
Has anyone implemented both? Which required less fiddling long-term?
For example, here's the manual script approach:
```html
```
Vs. the Netlify integration just needing this in the UI:
* Site configuration > Integrations > Fathom Analytics
* Add your site ID
Any gotchas with either method on a Jamstack site? I don't want to mess with build processes.
