I have zero interest in adding analytics to any site or application I might create in the future and, of course, I also don't want to bother future users with what would be pointless pop-ups. I thought that doing what github did would be enough, but now I'm not so sure because of one thing and some comments I saw here that might be related to that.

I would still like to improve any application I might create depending on how it's being used (to know what features to improve, which ones could potentially be removed or changed, etcetera). Keeping logs of this kind of usage would still go against the GDPR? I thought that it wouldn't as long as it was aggregated data without using any of the users' personal information. But some comments here have led me to believe that it would go against the GDPR regardless because it would still mean separating unique users.

Hoping someone more familiar with the law sees this comment. I mean, I can think of multiple ways to aggregate that data, even with unique users, without using personally identifying information, but I'm not sure anymore if that's enough.
