Matomo formly Piwik have very good support for privacy, special options that
can be enabled, also by default it strip part of the user IP.

You can also by default make cookie baner that you can use and enable
tracking only if user accept. I'm not sure if this is how people implement
ask permission for cookies nowadays. From what I've seen some time ago that
are lot of cookies just before I click the banner so clicking no probably
don't change anything. But with Matomo you can actually make it right and
don't rack unless user agree.
