Best Web Analytics 2026 - Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Google Analytics 4 and Universal Analytics?▾
GA4 replaced Universal Analytics (retired July 2023). GA4 is event-based (every interaction is an event) rather than session-based, uses machine learning to fill data gaps from privacy restrictions, and has a different reporting interface. GA4's data model is more flexible for modern web and app measurement but the interface has a steeper learning curve for UA veterans.
What are GDPR-compliant alternatives to Google Analytics?▾
Plausible Analytics, Fathom, and Matomo are the most popular privacy-focused alternatives. They collect analytics without personal data, IP addresses, or cross-site tracking — designed to be GDPR and PECR compliant without cookie consent banners. Matomo can be self-hosted for full data ownership. All provide essential traffic metrics with a simpler interface than GA4.
What is event tracking in web analytics?▾
Event tracking records specific user interactions beyond page views — button clicks, form submissions, video plays, scroll depth, file downloads, and custom actions. GA4 auto-tracks many interactions; others require configuration through Google Tag Manager or direct code implementation. Events enable conversion funnel analysis and attribution to specific on-page actions.
