Analytics

Last updated: February 2026

Overview

Track what matters without harvesting visitor data. See page views, referrers, and basic metrics. No cookies. No fingerprinting. No cross-site tracking. Privacy-first analytics for your projects.

What You Get

Page Views

Count of unique visitors per page. Daily, weekly, monthly views. Real numbers without padding.

Referrers

Where your traffic comes from. Direct, search, social media, etc. No tracking individual users.

Basic Metrics

Time spent, bounce rate, conversion tracking if you set goals. The useful stuff without the surveillance.

Dashboard

Access from your member dashboard. Log in and see your analytics anytime.

How It Works

No Cookies

We don't set persistent cookies to track people across sessions. No cross-site tracking. No third-party data brokers.

No Fingerprinting

We don't build device fingerprints to identify users. No browser profiling. No IP-based tracking.

No PII

We don't collect names, emails, or personal information. No email harvesting. No identification without consent.

Session-Only Data

We count visits, not people. Each session is isolated. We aggregate data, not track individuals.

Privacy Guarantees

GDPR Compliant

No tracking consent needed. No cookie banners required. Our approach is privacy-by-design, not privacy-theater.

No Data Sharing

Your analytics stay yours. We don't sell data to advertisers. We don't share with third parties. Ever.

Data Retention

We keep analytics data for as long as your membership is active. Cancel and we delete your data within 30 days.

Setting Up Analytics

Add the Tracker

Add one line of JavaScript to your site. That's it. We automatically start tracking page views.

Goals & Conversions

Set up conversion goals through your dashboard. Track form submissions, button clicks, or whatever matters to your project.

Custom Events

Track custom events if you need deeper insights. Video plays, file downloads, sign-ups. Call our API from your site.

What We DON'T Do

No Google Analytics Alternative

We're not a feature-parity replacement for Google Analytics. We have less, and that's the point. You get what matters without the surveillance infrastructure.

No Heatmaps

We don't record where people click, scroll, or move their mouse. Those features require individual user tracking.

No Session Replay

We don't replay visitors' sessions. No video recordings of what they do. That's crossing into surveillance territory.

No Audience Profiles

We don't build detailed profiles of your visitors. No demographic guessing. No behavioral categorization.

Why This Approach

You Need Data

As a creator or business owner, you need to know if your stuff is working. Page views matter. Referrers matter. Traffic trends matter.

But Not at This Cost

Traditional analytics trades visitor privacy for detailed insights. We said no. You can know what you need to know without watching people's every click.

Privacy First

Your visitors didn't consent to being tracked. They came for your content. We count their visit and move on. No harvesting. No profiles. No data brokers.

Under the Hood

What We Built

Privacy-first tracking script. Aggregation engine. Dashboard interface. Goal tracking system.

What We Use

Custom backend API. No third-party analytics platforms. Served from the same fortune0 infrastructure as other D2D tools.

Influences

We were inspired by Plausible Analytics and Simple Analytics, who proved you could run a sustainable analytics business without being creepy. They showed that privacy-respecting analytics could actually work. We took that philosophy and built it into every D2D tool.

Pricing

Analytics are included in your $1/month membership. Unlimited sites. Unlimited page views. No per-event fees. No overage charges.

Limitations

You get aggregate data, not individual user details. If you need individual session tracking, use Google Analytics. We're not that. We're simpler and more private.
