This task can be performed using Statable
Cookieless web analytics hosted in the EU
Replace Google Analytics safely
First, list the numbers and events you actually use in Google Analytics. Choose a cookieless web analytics setup that covers those essentials, processes data in an acceptable region, and has a script small enough not to undermine page performance.
Add the new script to every page and run it alongside Google Analytics for a full traffic cycle. Test production pages, filters, and navigation, then compare trends rather than expecting identical totals. Remove Google Analytics only after coverage is confirmed, and reassess whether another tool still requires consent.
Best product for this task
Statable
analytics
Statable is cookieless web analytics for people who want clear numbers without the compliance overhead. No cookies means no consent banner, so you count every visitor instead of only those who click Accept. The tracker is about 2.1 KB, with a 471-byte build. Data is processed in the EU by a Dutch company. Plans start at $9/month for 10,000 pageviews, pooled across unlimited websites rather than charged per site.
What to expect from an ideal product
- Statable runs without cookies, so you skip the consent banner entirely and count every visitor who loads the page, not only those who click Accept.
- The tracker weighs 2.1 KB with a 471-byte build option, meaning near-zero impact on page speed scores compared to Google Analytics which can load several hundred kilobytes.
- All data is processed in the EU by a Dutch company, which helps make the GDPR side of your analytics setup simpler.
- One plan at $9/month covers unlimited websites under a shared 10,000 pageview pool, which makes it practical for agencies or developers managing multiple small sites.
- Switching from Google Analytics means dropping a complex tag setup in favor of a single lightweight script that gives you clean traffic numbers without sampling, filters, or configuration overhead.
More about migration checks
During the overlap, differences are expected because a cookieless tracker can count visitors who rejected Google Analytics. Investigate missing pages or sudden pattern changes, not small total mismatches.
- Open representative pages and confirm each visit appears once, including client-side navigation if your site uses it.
- Review your privacy requirements before removing the consent banner. Advertising, chat, or embedded tools may still set nonessential cookies.
- Record the switch date and retain a Google Analytics export so historical comparisons remain possible.
