PostHog launches privacy-focused Web Analytics
Why It Matters:

- Introduced a cookieless tracking option to help users avoid using cookie banners.
- Added a "PostHog vs. Others" comparison table highlighting features like HIPAA compliance and EU hosting.
- Bundled Web Analytics pricing with Product Analytics, offering the first 1 million events for free.
- Included new customer testimonials specifically from former users of Plausible and Google Analytics.
- Added a technical tutorial for building a broken link checker using the new tools.
