## AI overview

The Open Home Foundation explains its plan to use Plausible for privacy-focused web analytics. The approach collects aggregated and anonymized website statistics, avoids individual tracking and cookies, publishes the analytics dashboard, and hosts the system on infrastructure maintained in-house.

## Source excerpt

The Open Home Foundation fights for privacy, choice, and sustainability. These principles are at the heart of everything we do, including how we handle website analytics. Our position is clear: we reject tools that track individuals across the web to monetize their data. Instead, we want aggregated, anonymized analytics that show how our websites are performing overall -- without identifying who our visitors are, or compromising their privacy.
