By the way my browser doesn't like your website - it blocks Google trackers which I find odd as you are definitely anti Google (understandably).
The only analytics I have is Koko with cookies turned off. I do have a Google tag to index the site for SEO (unfortunately a necessary evil) but that shouldn't have any impact on the user. I wonder if it is the html opt-in sign up script?
Maybe it's nothing but it's flagging storage.googleapis.com (minor tracking) and www.google.com (major tracker). Giving you a privacy score of 2/5.
