Cookie-free analytics. The visit still counts after Reject.

If you searched for an alternative.

  GA4 is the ads suite. This is the count the banner threw away. Run both for a week.

• Plausible alternative

  Same cookieless job. Lower published price, events included. Beacons hit Frankfurt; pageviews sit in Ireland.

• Matomo alternative

  No PHP to maintain, no cookie mode to leave on. Beacons hit Frankfurt; pageviews sit in Ireland.

• Analytics without cookies

  No cookie, no localStorage id, no lasting fingerprint. A count, not a profile.

• Do I need a cookie banner?

  Not for this script’s pageviews. Your counsel still owns the final call.

• WordPress analytics without cookies

  Paste the 1 KB script in your theme header or any header-scripts plugin. No MonsterInsights cookie.

Not an ads suite, not replay, not open source. Funnels are a straight path on one UTC day, on Growth.

Questions people actually type.

What is cookie-free analytics?

Cookie-free analytics counts the pageview without a cookie, a localStorage id, or a lasting fingerprint. Pageviews, the source, and a named goal. One script, under 1 KB. No cookie banner for this script. If you still load Google Ads, Meta, or GA4, keep the banner for those tags. Your counsel owns the final call.

What happens when someone clicks Reject?

Cookie-based tools typically cannot set their identifier, so that person does not show up as a visitor or a conversion in those reports. Consent mode can model some of the hole; a model is not a count. Cookie Free Analytics does not set a cookie, so the pageview still records.

What is Cookie Free Analytics, exactly?

We count the landing, the source, and the named goal. Ads platforms still do conversion tags. Many sites run both.

Do I need a cookie banner for Cookie Free Analytics?

No cookie banner for this script. If you still load Google Ads, Meta, or GA4, keep the banner for those tags. Your counsel owns the final call.

Do I need a developer?

No for pageviews. On WordPress, paste the snippet in your theme header or any header-scripts plugin. Named goals take one line of code or data-cfa.

Does Hobby put a link on my site?

Yes. Starter and Growth turn it off.

Is Cookie Free Analytics a Google Analytics alternative?

We count the landing, the source, and the named goal. Ads platforms still do conversion tags. Many sites run both. For pageviews, sources, campaigns, and goals — yes. It is not an ads or attribution suite.

How much does cookieless analytics cost?

Hobby is free: 3 sites, 90 days, owner plus one viewer, a badge. Starter starts at €4 for 10k pageviews. Growth is €8 at that volume. A million Starter views is €26.

Where is Cookie Free Analytics hosted?

No cookies, just insights. Made and hosted in the EU. Beacons hit Frankfurt; pageviews sit in Ireland Postgres. Vercel is still a US company. Not forwarded to a US ad graph. Split on /europe.

Do you watch if the site is up?

Yes, on Starter and Growth. Watch is HTTP, TLS, and DNS on a hostname you already added. Frankfurt and Dublin. Down only if both fail. Hobby sees the tab. Recipe: /docs/watch.

Do goals count toward the volume?

No. Named events are included. Starter and Growth meter pageviews. Hobby is uncapped on pageviews — the cap is sites, history, and a badge.

Is Watch a second product?

No. HTTP, TLS, and DNS on a hostname you already added. Frankfurt and Dublin. Down only when both fail. Slow ping is not down. On Starter and Growth — it follows the invoice, no extra SKU.

Do you put Lighthouse in the 1 KB script?

No. First byte is a Frankfurt GET we run. Lighthouse scores come from Google PageSpeed Insights — lab, not field. Refresh always runs a new audit. We do not invent LCP.
