This brings me to a conversation that I wish more people talked about: I'm totally fine with (and even like the concept of) anonymous analytics. It gives the website owner insight onto what the aggregate is doing, helping the website respond to demands.
But the problem is when the analytics providers themselves abuse that data and sell it in some way.
I know you're not the owner of the project, but for your knowledge this is a static page hosted on Github Pages. There's no "responding to demands" like a traditional web app!
What I meant for "responding to demands" is if a lot of people click on a certain feature, then you can expand that feature.
