Should there be a comma after the last item in the list in this sentence?

I am referring to the comma in the parentheses. What is the consensus?

When in doubt, leave it out. There's no particular rule, but you can safely drop it

The comma you are asking about is not needed. Indeed the comma before that (following "analytics") is somewhat controversial being an example of an "Oxford comma". As the list does not include any other "ands" except for the ampersand between p and l I would leave that one out as well.

I agree with @BoldBen’s suggestion to drop the last 2 commas. I’d also suggest adding a full-stop at the end. :)

It ought not to be there. A comma is irrelevant and incorrect in the given position.
