It's hard to take Cloudflare and Privacy seriously in the same sentence. Even with a basic implementation they have even more power over you and your customers than Google would (with a simple JS include) in so many ways.

The only way it adds privacy is by being more limited in some forms of tracking, but in the wider big data collection, tracking people across domains, etc, they really don't have much of an argument. Especially when they are working to control such a big % of internet traffic. It's still all going to a centralized DB where correlations can be done.

In many ways they could already vacuum up this information whether you enabled analytics or not.

Just because they claim not to be doing it, doesn't mean its fundamentally privacy oriented.
