<p>This is a plugin which integrates Google Analytics into your blog or website, but in a different way. It does not install any cookie from analytics, but it does use a php ajax backend which stores the data in php SESSION, which is preserved using a cookie, but a first party technical cookie.</p>

<p><a href="https://hitkeep.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">HitKeep Analytics</a> connects WordPress to a self-hosted or cloud HitKeep instance. It injects the normal <code>hk.js</code> tracker from your HitKeep instance and keeps data flowing through the core HitKeep ingest pipeline.</p>
<p>The plugin does not add a separate analytics backend, database, queue, or third-party service. It only loads the tracker from the HitKeep instance you configure.</p>
<h3>Privacy-first web analytics for WordPress</h3>
<p>HitKeep is built for teams that want useful web analytics without adopting a heavy analytics stack. The WordPress plugin keeps setup simple: choose your HitKeep instance, save the settings, and the plugin loads the first-party tracker on public pages.</p>
<p>Logged-in WordPress users are skipped by default, so administrators and editors do not pollute public traffic reports. Browser Do Not Track is respected by default.</p>
