The WP Lean Analytics provides a lean and compliant integration with Google Analytics, social platforms, and Smartlook recorder that allows you to track your users as desired while not slowing down your Website with stuff you don't need.
Also you do not need to authenticate with any third party service - so your private tracking data stays your data.
This plugin is recommended, if you do NOT want a dashboard within your admin panel and rather use the third party dashboards directly.
No coding required.
