Simple Analytics provides clean, lightweight website analytics without collecting personal data, setting cookies, or requiring consent banners. It can serve as a complete standalone replacement for traditional analytics or run alongside tools like GA4 to capture traffic typically lost to ad-blockers and rejected consent.

  • Track website visitors and pageviews without needing cookie consent banners
  • Run alongside GA4 to identify traffic lost to ad-blockers and rejected consent
  • Export cookieless visitor metrics to data warehouses or BI dashboards like Looker Studio

Features

  • Cookieless tracking with no personal data or visitor IDs recorded
  • EU-hosted infrastructure compliant with GDPR, PECR, and CCPA out of the box
  • Session calculation based on pageview context rather than persistent identifiers
  • Custom event tracking, campaign parameter capture, and referrer analysis
  • Stats and raw data export APIs for custom dashboards and data warehouses
  • Built-in AI assistant for querying dashboard metrics
  • Integrations with Google Tag Manager, WordPress, and BI platforms

Pricing

Paid plans with a free trial; pricing tiers depend on monthly pageview volume.
