Climeworks, the industrial CO₂ removal innovator, replaced Google Analytics with Matomo.
The result:
• Eliminated need for annoying cookie consent
• Reduced the carbon footprint of its website 22%
Its privacy policy boldly states, “We accept this less accurate data to protect your privacy.”
“Our vision is to inspire one billion people to remove CO₂ from the air, and we don’t believe we need cookies to do that.”

€30/month pays for only a fraction of my CO₂ emissions, but it is something. I am doing my part to create demand in the market for carbon removal.
We need to get the cost of removing CO₂ from the air to be less than the cost of producing it in the first place. This can come from scale. Many individuals can create the scale necessary for this.
@jeremiahlee I'm already supporting Climeworks with a monthly donation. The fact that they care about #privacy is the cherry on top of the cake.
