What do they need Google Analytics for? Is it a must-have or a nice to have? In my experience most small website owners have web analytics setup but barely ever check the reports.
Some alternatives:
* don't have web analytics at all
* self-host a Plausible Analytics or other open source analytics solution
* use the data from server-side access logs (for those using nginx, apache or other similar solutions)
* use Vercel web analytics' free tier (relevant for kanadojo which appears to be hosted there) - more privacy friendly than Google Analytics.
