## What it is
Ackee is a self-hosted, Node.js-based website analytics tool focused on privacy, offering anonymized traffic statistics in a minimal interface. It stores data in MongoDB, requires no cookies, and exposes a fully documented GraphQL API.

## Use cases
- self-hosted google analytics alternative
- privacy-friendly website traffic analytics
- track page views without cookies
- analyze referrers and visit durations for my site
- track custom events like button clicks and newsletter signups
- build custom dashboards on top of a GraphQL analytics API

## When to choose
- you want full ownership of analytics data on your own server
- you need cookie-free, anonymized tracking to avoid consent banners
- you prefer a minimal UI over heavyweight marketing analytics platforms
- you want a GraphQL API to extend or integrate analytics

## When to avoid
- you need full-featured marketing analytics like funnels, campaigns, or session replay
- you don't want to manage your own server, MongoDB, and deployments
- you require user-level identification and cross-device tracking
- you need real-time high-traffic enterprise-scale analytics
