#free-ideas Minimal on-premise cookie-less analytics for landing pages

Personally I have a need for the tiniest possible analytics tool that:

• will not store any cookies, so that I don’t have to put up those fugly EU cookie statement and consent boxes;
• will track HTTP referrer / ?ref= / UTM params, and current page URL, to know where the user came from to my landing page or other page on the site;
• ideally there’s some kind of reporting — can be as simple as a CLI command that will query the data and generate a html output

— and that’s it. All I care about is hits, not unique visitors or tracking their journey on the site; instead I want it to be as non-intrusive as possible. I’m using a static website hosting (Firebase in my case), so the tracking API must be something separate, but self-hosted (e.g. Firebase Functions + Firebase Firestore or Realtime Database).

I’m thinking of doing it myself, but I’m really poorly skilled in web dev and JS in general. Maybe someone wants to develop it as an open source side project? This is obviously not a SaaS and perhaps not even a paid product, but it can still be used to promote your main offer. E.g., @ecehanece could build this tool around his charts and promote Charts Factory with it, or make the integration with charts paid.
