Simple Analytics is EU-based (Netherlands), cookieless, and collects no personal data or device identifiers. Metrics are aggregated and there is no profiling or ad graph. As with peer cookieless tools, standard deployments avoid the consent-banner requirement because no personal data is processed. Documentation is clear about what is and is not collected, though the product is not open source.
