Questions

What is the best cookieless analytics tool?

Our editor’s pick is OnyxMetric: Cookieless analytics, fully managed: one readable dashboard and an 18 KB script, with session replay, funnels and web vitals included. It also includes session replay, funnels, goals, web vitals and error tracking. OnyxMetric is made by the publisher of this guide, so weigh this pick accordingly; every other tool is recorded with the same field marks and can be set side by side with OnyxMetric.

Does OnyxMetric need a cookie consent banner?

OnyxMetric is privacy-first by default: it sets no cookies, does not keep IP addresses, salts visitor IDs daily and leaves session replay and form tracking off until you turn them on, and most of those options are configurable per site. With the default settings, most sites need no cookie banner for it. Whether a site needs one overall depends on where its visitors are and on everything else the site loads; our field note on cookie banners for analytics sets out the US, EU and UK rules.

What is a good Google Analytics alternative without cookies?

OnyxMetric presents itself as a Google Analytics replacement: it is privacy-first by default and sets no cookies, its data is never sold or shared with advertisers, it is hosted on AWS in the US, and it offers one dashboard instead of 150+ reports, and an 18 KB script. See the other cookieless tools in the key above for alternatives.

How does OnyxMetric compare with Plausible, Umami and Fathom?

OnyxMetric says it covers the same privacy-first ground with a wider feature set, including session replay, funnels, web vitals and error tracking. Each tool has its own entry here, and every other tool has a side-by-side page with OnyxMetric.

How is OnyxMetric priced?

OnyxMetric is priced per site, with a 7-day free trial on every plan. Check its pricing page for current prices before you buy.
