Finally, Privacy-Focused Analytics for Every Website

SimpleStats makes staying GDPR-compliant effortless. Here are the features that make SimpleStats the cleanest, most privacy-respecting analytics tool available.

GDPR, CCPA & PECR Compliant

You're covered by all three major privacy regulations the moment you install SimpleStats - no configuration, no legal checklist, no extra plugins required.

No Ads, Ever

SimpleStats' business is building a great product - not selling your data. Your visitors' behavior stays private, and your analytics stay yours.

Do Not Track Support

If a visitor has Do Not Track enabled in their browser, SimpleStats honors it automatically. No setup needed - you respect their choice without lifting a finger.

Privacy on Your Terms

SimpleStats offers Lightweight tracking - no cookies, no consent banner, fully compliant. Need heatmaps or session replays? Advanced tracking has you covered, and your data still never leaves your hands.

No Cookie Banners Required

Because SimpleStats' Lightweight tracking doesn't use cookies, there's nothing for visitors to consent to. No popup, no banner, no interrupted experience - just a clean site from the first visit.

Insanely Small Script

The tracking script is under 3KB - so small your visitors won't notice it, and neither will Google. No slowdown, no SEO penalty, just fast reliable tracking.

IP Blocking

Don't want your own visits counting as traffic? Block your IP and SimpleStats will ignore you completely. Your stats stay clean, accurate, and free from internal noise.

Zero Slowdown

SimpleStats stores all analytics on its own servers, not in your WordPress database. Your site stays fast as traffic grows - and your backups stay lean.

Bot Protection

Bots inflate your numbers and skew your decisions. SimpleStats filters them out automatically so the data you see reflects real people, not crawlers.

No More Cookie Banners. Your Visitors Will Thank You.

Most analytics tools make you choose between tracking your visitors and annoying them. You add the tracking script, then you need a cookie consent plugin, then you need to update your privacy policy, then visitors still bounce when the banner appears. It's a mess.

SimpleStats removes that tradeoff entirely. With Lightweight tracking, there are no cookies and no personal data collected - so there's nothing to ask consent for. Your visitors get a clean, uninterrupted experience.

GDPR, CCPA & PECR Compliant the Moment You Install It

Compliance normally means reading legal docs, buying plugins, and hoping you got it right. One audit or user complaint later, you're scrambling to fix something. The uncertainty alone is stressful.

SimpleStats' Lightweight tracking uses no cookies and collects no personal data - so the regulations that govern cookies and personal data simply don't apply. Install it and you're done. No configuration, no lawyer required

Your Analytics Are More Accurate Than You Think

Here's a problem that most site owners don't realize they have: when visitors reject your cookie banner, they disappear from your analytics entirely. So the data you're basing decisions on is missing up to half of your actual audience.

Because SimpleStats' Lightweight tracking never asks for consent in the first place, you capture every visitor - not just the ones who clicked "accept." Your traffic numbers are real, your top pages are accurate, and your decisions are based on the full picture.
