There's this thing called SQL that the oldies used to generate such reports ... Jokes apart, I agree with the suggestion to build your own analytics, or host one using some popular open source analytic software. There is more privacy awareness among users now, and sharing your data with Google or Microsoft or Facebook is the easiest way to hurt your reputation with these individuals. Has everyone forgot that webservers still generate their own visitors logs? Moreover, if you think the data is important enough to collect and analyse, it seems quite foolish to trust a third-party with it, especially a free one.
