Now GDPR aside, there are still things I do to identify firms browsing my website that I thought I might share...
https://ipinfo.io/  is invaluable. It can recognize a webserver and all of its properties and then log those properties against that IP address in the massive databse that they maintain.

https://securitytrails.com/domain/forum.sircles.net/history/a  we can see it has been redirected from a BT connection IP address.

If we therefore browse to https://ipaddressinquestion (substituing the IP address onviously) we will receive a certificate error. Upon examining that error we can see that the certificate is a sircles.net certificate.

Now we can do exactly the same thing for any IP address we receive from statcounter.

I will not give an example IP here so as not to reveal anyone but if we take an IP from our activity stats and browse to https://ipaddressinquestion, substituting the ip address in question once again (sometimes you need to add or remove a few from the last figure as they will not necessarily use their router IP for a VPN or server for instance if the IP ends in 100 try from 95-105) we might be able to discover the domain name of our visitor and therefore trace their identity.
