There’s no need to track visitors around the web and add cookies to their browsers. Independent Analytics uses cookieless tracking techniques to record visits to your own website and nothing more.
To comply with privacy laws like the GDPR, it’s important not to store any personally identifiable information without the user’s consent. Independent Analytics avoids storage of any data that could be used to identify an individual.
When someone visits your site, Independent Analytics makes a REST API request to your own site, and a new session is saved. This data is stored in the WordPress database and is never shared elsewhere.
You alone have access to your analytics data. Since it’s stored in the WordPress database, this means it migrates automatically when pushing a site to staging or production, and the data is included in all your backups.
No, Independent Analytics does not use cookies or track personally identifiable data, so a consent form is not required.
Yes, privacy is central to Independent Analytics’ design, and it will always be GDPR compliant.
