Shynet
Privacy-first web analytics with no cookies and no tracking scripts
Overview
Shynet is a self-hosted analytics platform that tracks visitor behavior without cookies or JavaScript by default, making it GDPR-friendly out of the box. It provides page views, session duration, referrer tracking, and geographic data in a clean dashboard. Designed for small to medium sites where simplicity and privacy matter more than deep funnel analysis.
Where it falls short of Google Analytics
- No funnel or cohort analysis; purely page-level metrics
- No JavaScript event tracking without custom integration
- No built-in alerting or anomaly detection
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
