What to expect from an ideal product

  1. Uses server-side tracking that identifies visitors through IP addresses and browser fingerprints instead of storing cookies on their devices
  2. Collects only essential data points like page views and traffic sources while avoiding personal information that could identify individual users
  3. Processes all visitor data anonymously by aggregating metrics without creating detailed user profiles or tracking personal browsing habits
  4. Complies with GDPR and privacy laws automatically since no personal data is stored or cookies are placed on visitor browsers
  5. Provides accurate website analytics through direct server logs rather than relying on third-party tracking scripts that compromise user privacy
