Pirsch Analytics

Privacy-friendly web analytics service built around simplicity and essential metrics. Tracks visitors without cookies or personal data, making it compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR out of the box.

Pirsch serves hundreds of customers and positions itself as an alternative to Google Analytics and similar tools. Data is hosted in Germany with an open-source core available on GitHub. Notable differentiators include server-side tracking that works even with ad blockers, one-click import from Plausible, Fathom, or Google Analytics, and no consent banner requirements.

Key capabilities:

• Cookie-free tracking with fingerprinting based on IP, User-Agent, and date
• RESTful API, Go and JavaScript SDKs, and server-side integration for non-blockable analytics
• Funnels, custom events, A/B testing, goals, and webhooks
• Team management, automatic email reports, and shareable dashboards
• White-label and custom theming for agencies and SaaS platforms

Developers integrate Pirsch via a lightweight script snippet, CMS plugins, or backend API calls. Common setups include Next.js, Laravel, Gatsby, WordPress, and Caddy. Use it to understand traffic and conversions, power embedded analytics in your own product, or run GDPR-safe analytics for client sites without consent banners.
