# Privacy-Friendly Web and Product Analytics

> Understand traffic and product behavior without analytics cookies using hosted web analytics, product analytics, AI, revenue, and monitoring.

tinyanalytics is hosted, privacy-friendly web and product analytics in one platform. Install one script to understand traffic, product behavior, revenue, AI discovery, experiments, and site reliability — without analytics cookies or raw IP addresses in your analytics data. Sign in at [dash.tinyanalytics.io](https://dash.tinyanalytics.io).

**Understand your traffic and your product without tracking people.**

No cookies. Just insights.

## What you can measure

tinyanalytics connects four jobs from a single tracking script:

* **Web analytics** — pageviews, sessions, top pages, sources and channels, first-touch user acquisition, countries, devices, journeys, retention, funnels, and goals.
* **Product analytics** — custom events, user identification, feature flags, A/B experiments, surveys, behavioral cohorts, revenue, and B2B group analytics.
* **AI analysis and discovery** — ask questions across one site or an organization, create supported reports with approval, measure AI referral traffic and crawlers, and connect search performance to on-site behavior.
* **Monitoring and automation** — uptime checks, scheduled reports, and alerts to email, Slack, Discord, or a webhook.

## How is tinyanalytics private by default?

Core anonymous analytics counts visitors without cookies or a stored browser ID. The server derives a short, one-way identifier from each request, and it never writes the raw IP address to your analytics data.

Because no browser ID keeps anonymous identity stable, visitor counts are close estimates rather than exact figures. Use [`identify()`](/docs/user-identification-analytics) to attach your own stable user IDs when you need cross-device accuracy for signed-in users. See [how tinyanalytics works](/docs/how-tinyanalytics-works) for the full mechanism.

<Note>
  Optional product features can use browser storage for a specific purpose:
  `identify()` persists the ID you provide, feature flags keep assignments
  sticky, groups retain account associations, surveys respect wait periods and
  completed prompts, and opt-out stores a disabled marker. See [Privacy &
  GDPR](/docs/resources/privacy-friendly-analytics-gdpr) for the details.
</Note>

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do I need a cookie banner to use tinyanalytics?">
    Core anonymous analytics sets no cookies and does not store an analytics ID
    in the browser. Whether you need consent still depends on your jurisdiction,
    the optional features you enable, and the data you send. Review [Privacy &
    GDPR](/docs/resources/privacy-friendly-analytics-gdpr) for the browser-storage details.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How accurate is cookieless visitor counting?">
    It is a close estimate, not an exact figure. Several people sharing one
    network and browser can collapse into a single visitor, and one person
    switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data can be counted twice. Every cookieless
    tool shares this trade. Call [`identify()`](/docs/user-identification-analytics) to attach your
    own user IDs when you need exact, cross-device counts for signed-in users.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I move my data over from Google Analytics?">
    Yes. tinyanalytics imports historical data from Google Analytics 4,
    Plausible, Umami, and Simple Analytics, so your reports keep their history.
    See [migrate to tinyanalytics](/docs/migrate-analytics-data-to-tinyanalytics).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need a separate tool for product analytics?">
    No. The same platform covers web analytics, custom events, feature flags,
    experiments, surveys, cohorts, revenue, B2B groups, and monitoring.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What makes tinyanalytics AI-native?">
    tinyanalytics treats AI as both an acquisition channel and an analysis
    interface. Measure AI referrals and crawlers, then use [Ask AI](/docs/ai-analytics-assistant) to
    question one site or your whole organization in plain language. Answers are
    grounded in the same report services as the dashboard, and supported write
    actions require your approval. You can also generate reviewable site-scoped
    SQL with the [SQL query builder](/docs/sql-analytics-query-builder).
