24 alternatives to Consentless – A minimalist, privacy-preserving traffic counter
Several years ago I started tracking my own website stats using a minimal counter that preserves user privacy. I wrote about that in my article, Private Analytics and the Raspberry Pi in my Bedroom. The original version was a PHP script. It's been working well for several years, but I had some hardware trouble with the Raspberry Pi. So, this week I took those concepts and wrote Consentless as a Go application to replace that original script and I created some initial documentation.

Edgemetry▲99I've been building a lot of landing pages and small sites lately, and i wanted analytics on them. Google analytics was the obvious first option, but i didn't want it for privacy reasons. Also, some privacy blockers block them. Plausible was the next best thing, but having a VPS for sites which that doesn't get too much traffic, felt too much. So i built Edgemetry. Its a worker, a bit of frontend, and a D1 database. Everything runs in Cloudflare's free tier. If you've got a site that doesn't get ton of traffic but you still wnat to see your visitors and their actions, give it a go.

ConsentScope▲19So I recently ran a small experiment. I tested 20 websites (SaaS, e-commerce, agencies, blogs) to check something simple: Do they actually wait for user consent before loading analytics? 14 out of 20 loaded Google Analytics or other tracking scripts before the user clicked “Accept”. In most cases:the cookie banner was visible, no interaction had happened yet but GA/GTM requests were already firing. You don’t really notice this unless you’re watching the Network tab closely. So I built a small tool to monitor: cookies being set localStorage/sessionStorage usage tracking-related…
