> GA is a bad look

Totally agree, but are there "acceptable" CDNs, like unpkg? What about Google Fonts?

> The GDPR gives you a small window to count visitors through cookies as long as all private information (even IP) is anonymized.

If it's not too much to ask, could you expand on that a bit, or share a link? I guess you mean it's ok to send a browser fingerprint for unique visitor stats without having to ask for permission, but I'm not aware of any legal debate let alone court decision with respect to that.

Edit: obviously I can't read ("through cookies"), but cookies for unique visitor counts aren't "functional" are they, so my interpretation is that those cookies need consent; I'd love to hear otherwise though
