Implement cookieless web analytics #28

I don't want to use Google Analytics for this project for privacy and performance concerns. I have not fact-checked, but i'm pretty sure GA requires website owner to display a cookie consent popup, and i fucking hate those.

If i were hosting on my own infrastructure, i could gather some basic analytics from HTTPd logs.

There are some ethical analytics services on the market, but none of them have free tier option and i'm currently running this project completely free on GitHub Pages.

GitHub itself does not currently seem to have any analytics for Pages https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/31474

tl;dr: yes, there is no way to use Google Analytics without cookie consent: https://www.simpleanalytics.com/blog/website-analytics-without-cookies#how-do-i-use-google-analytics-lawfully
