Where GA4 loses visibility

GA4 relies on cookies and consented identifiers. Simple Analytics measures visits without them.

Where GA4 loses visibility

GA4 uses cookies, consent, and browser identifiers to build sessions and attribution. When consent is rejected, traffic can go missing, be modeled, or lose source data and end up as Direct, Unassigned, or not set.

Simple Analytics works differently: no cookies, no visitor identifiers, and no personal data. It measures cookieless visits without building visitor profiles.

Add a cookieless layer to GA4.

GA4 still runs your reporting, audiences, and conversion workflows. Simple Analytics adds the cookieless baseline, so analysts can see what GA4 reports against what actually reached the site.

Why Simple Analytics does not require analytics consent

What we do

  • Measure pageviews, events, referrers, and campaign parameters without identifying visitors.
  • Derive country-level location without storing IP addresses.
  • Report cookieless traffic that GA4 cannot fully observe after consent is rejected.

What we don't

  • No cookies, localStorage, or similar browser storage.
  • No IP address collection or storage.
  • No visitor IDs, user profiles, or cross-site identifiers.
  • No cross-session or cross-device tracking.

That makes us compliant with all the major privacy laws out of the box. Read more about GDPR compliance, security, and privacy-first web analytics.

Trusted by teams that need a clearer picture

Simple Analytics helps analysts in agencies, enterprise teams, and white-label partners recover visibility into pageviews, clicks, events, and campaign traffic lost through consent banners, blockers, and privacy restrictions.

Switching to Simple Analytics will still give you visibility into how visitors are using your website, but you'll also be respecting their right to privacy.
