What We DON'T Use

Unlike most websites, we do NOT use:

  • Third-party advertising cookies (Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, etc.)
  • Third-party analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.)
  • Social media tracking pixels
  • Marketing automation cookies
  • Behavioral targeting cookies

4. Cookie-Less Tracking Option

For our analytics service, we offer a cookie-less tracking mode that doesn't require any cookies on your users' devices.

This mode uses stateless, server-side session management and fingerprinting techniques that don't store any data on the user's device. This means:

  • No cookie consent banners needed for your website
  • Full compliance with ePrivacy Directive
  • No user tracking across sessions
  • Analytics data is still accurate and useful
