Self-hosting does not automatically make your analytics legal, on the other hand.

Processing of your users' personal data is legal only in the few exceptional scenarios outlined in Article 6.

Our definition of "exceptional scenarios" is clearly not the same... The list of scenarios in article 6 are common business operations covering a huge range of legitimate activities where processing might need to occur; there is little exceptional about them.

    Processing of personal information is unlawful except in the conditions listed in the article.

    So "exceptional" in the sense that they are exceptions to a more general rule, as of opposed to the sense of being extraordinary.
