Kontrol Analytics
Privacy-first web analytics — no cookies, no personal data
Overview
Kontrol Analytics is a privacy-first alternative to cookie-based analytics platforms. Built on the same principles as Plausible but deeper and easier, it gives you the metrics that matter — real-time visitor counts, top pages, referrer sources, geographic breakdown, device and browser share, session duration, and bounce rate — without ever touching personal data. A single lightweight script (< 2 KB) is all you need. No consent banner required.
What it covers
- Pageviews and unique visitor counts (daily anonymised hash, no cookies)
- Bounce rate and average session duration
- Top pages, entry paths, and exit pages
- Referral sources — domains only, never full URLs
- Country-level geographic breakdown from CDN geo headers
- Device category, browser, and operating system
- Custom events with arbitrary key-value properties (e.g. signups, purchases)
- Real-time active visitor count updated every 30 seconds

Key features
Zero-cookie tracking
A daily-rotating HMAC of the IP + UA + site ID is used for unique visitor counting. It resets every 24 hours, making cross-day profiling technically impossible.
Lightweight snippet
One < 2 KB script tag. No external CDN. Self-hosted on your own domain. Works with Content Security Policy. SPA-friendly with automatic pushState tracking.
Real-time dashboard
Live visitor badge refreshed every 30 seconds. See who is on your site right now without any server-sent events or WebSockets.
Regulatory frameworks
No personal data is collected or stored. IP addresses are used transiently to compute a daily-rotating anonymous hash and then discarded. No consent banner is required.
UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations — no cookies or similar tracking technologies are used, so the cookie consent requirement does not apply.
EU cookie directive exemption applies: the tracking script does not set or read any browser storage, satisfying the 'strictly necessary' exemption criteria.
No sale or sharing of personal information. No unique identifiers tied to individuals are stored, eliminating the primary CCPA/CPRA data-subject obligations.
