There's more than a few FOSS and privacy focused analytics tools it there. Umami is very simple but great: https://github.com/umami-software/umami

There are others as well

    I used umami cloud (free tier) on my personal site for 6-12 months and can recommend it. I ultimately decided to switch to just a simple counter for visits and likes because that's all i care about and i don't like collecting more information than i "need". Now my website has no other tracking/analytics and the entire site still works even if Javascript is disabled.

    For a business if you're wanting a Google analytics alternative then umami does a great job. Self hosted option available as well.

    To your initial question, if you'd actually use the data then i would recommend some form of privacy respecting analytics on your business site though. Since you seem privacy conscious i just wouldn't put more analytics on your website than you'd personally be ok with as an end user
