Google Analytics Alternative

It's Cool to Respect Data Privacy

Open source web analytics prioritize data privacy, allowing website owners to collect and analyze user data in a manner that lives up to your brand promise.

With Google Analytics and other 3rd party tools, data is stored on Google's servers and you have limited control over how that data is used.

In contrast, running your own open source web analytics means that you have complete control over the data you collect. This helps you build trust with your website visitors and demonstrates your commitment to protecting their privacy.

Cookie-Free Browsing and No Annoying Cookie Pop-ups

Many website visitors are wary of cookies. Running your own open source web analytics allows you to collect data without using cookies, eliminating the need for cookie policy pop-ups and providing a seamless browsing experience for your visitors.

This can help reduce user friction and improve the overall user experience on your website, leading to higher engagement and conversion rates.

One of the main advantages of running your own open source web analytics is that you retain complete ownership of your data.

With Google Analytics, your data is subject to Google's retention policies, and you may have limited control over how it is used.

In contrast, running your own analytics solution gives you full control over your data, allowing you to store it securely and use it for your own purposes. This gives you the freedom to analyze your data in the way that best suits your needs, without any external limitations or restrictions.
