Simple Analytics

Simple Analytics is a privacy-first web analytics platform that measures your website traffic without cookies, consent banners or visitor tracking. It's a clean, GDPR-friendly alternative to Google Analytics that captures the traffic consent-dependent tools miss — giving you real numbers without collecting personal data.

What is Simple Analytics?

Simple Analytics tracks pageviews, events, referrers and campaigns through a cookieless layer, deriving country-level location without storing IP addresses and without creating visitor IDs or profiles. The result is a straightforward, live dashboard that tells you what's happening on your site — while staying compliant with privacy law by design.

Who it's for

Simple Analytics serves agencies managing many client sites, enterprise teams that want complete traffic visibility, EU-based companies that care about data residency, white-label partners, and anyone actively looking for a GA4 alternative. If you've grown tired of cookie banners and privacy risk just to see your traffic, it's aimed squarely at you.

See the traffic others hide

Because consent banners cause many visitors to opt out of tracking, cookie-based tools like Google Analytics undercount. Simple Analytics, being cookieless and consent-free, captures that missing traffic — the company cites 20–60% more measured visits than consent-dependent setups. For anyone making decisions off their numbers, seeing the full picture instead of a partial one is a meaningful difference.

Privacy compliance by design

Simple Analytics doesn't bolt privacy on — it's the foundation. With no cookies, no personal data and no visitor IDs, it's GDPR, PECR, CCPA and French CNIL compliant by design, which means no consent banner is required at all. For EU companies especially, that removes both a legal headache and the friction a cookie wall adds to every visit.

Simple to run, easy to extend

True to its name, setup needs no sales call, and the dashboard is deliberately uncluttered — the key numbers, not a maze of reports. But it's not limited: a Stats API and Export API, BI-tool compatibility, data-warehouse integration, a WordPress plugin and first-party proxy options let more advanced teams pipe the data wherever they need it. Established since 2018 with 31,000+ users, it's a mature, trusted option.

Made for agencies and teams

Simple Analytics scales beyond a single site. Agencies can manage many client websites in one place, white-label partners can put their own brand on the dashboards, and enterprise teams get the data residency and export options they need. Because there's no cookie banner and no sales call to get started, onboarding a new client site is fast — and the clean, shareable dashboards make reporting to clients or stakeholders genuinely simple rather than a monthly chore.

Runs alongside what you already have

You don't have to rip out Google Analytics to use Simple Analytics — many teams run both, using the cookieless numbers to see the fuller, consent-independent picture. With a WordPress plugin, first-party proxy options and straightforward script setup, adding it to an existing site takes minutes, and its APIs mean the data can feed the tools and warehouses you already rely on.

Why choose Simple Analytics

For anyone who wants honest website numbers without cookies, banners or privacy risk, Simple Analytics is a clean, credible choice. Its cookieless tracking, fuller traffic capture, compliance-by-design and easy exports make it a practical way to understand your audience while respecting them — and to leave the complexity and legal baggage of traditional analytics behind.
