## Notes

Counter is web analytics for a website, built as a Go server with static assets. It counts unique visitors per day and referrers, and saves its data in Redis. The project runs a hosted service, and a self-hosted binary is available from a separate repository. Counter collects aggregated counts rather than per-user records.

## Worth knowing

The self-hosted build is marked beta by its repository. The project's FAQ says that, under the ePrivacy Directive, web analytics services including Counter need consent.
