Insights

  • Cookie-Free Tracking

    Insights requires no cookies, eliminating the need for intrusive consent banners that can deter up to 20% of visitors from engaging further. Page views log automatically, capturing basics like visit duration and exit pages, all anonymized. This keeps sites faster and user-friendly while providing actionable data. (62 words)

  • Custom Event and User Flow Tracking

    Developers can track interactions precisely: form submissions, video plays, scrolls past thresholds. The Insights.js library enables flexible event payloads, building detailed user journeys. Unlike basic privacy tools, it handles complex web apps, showing sequences from landing to conversion without personal identifiers. Documentation includes code samples for common setups. (68 words)

  • Built-In GDPR Compliance

    No IP storage, no personal data retention—Insights sidesteps common pitfalls that led to fines against Google Analytics users. It complies with GDPR, CCPA and PECR out of the box. Transparency reports detail exact data points collected, and Firebase sub-processors handle only anonymized loads. European hosting via Austrian firm ensures data stays in compliant jurisdictions.

  • Lightweight and Transparent Code

    The script loads under 10KB gzipped, outperforming bulkier rivals. Full event tracking remains performant even on low-end devices. Source code for the client-side tracker is public on GitHub, allowing audits. Pricing transparency matches: flat monthly rates based on event volume, cancellable anytime without overages. (58 words)

  • Traffic Source and Conversion Analysis

    Break down traffic by search engines, social media, or direct visits. Track conversions from specific campaigns, flag click fraud, and integrate with Google Ads. Raw data shows bounce rates and paths, supporting decisions on content or ads.
