Scoby Analytics

<p>Scoby Analytics is a privacy-focused analytics plugin for WordPress. It is designed to provide website operators with actionable usage statistics <strong>without using cookies, device fingerprinting, or cross-site identifiers</strong>.</p>
<p>The WordPress integration is a <strong>lightweight, client-side integration</strong> that prioritizes visitor privacy. Scoby’s goal is to enable analytics in a way that can typically be operated under <strong>legitimate interest</strong> (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and <strong>without consent banners</strong>, provided it is used as intended and configured appropriately. Scoby does not provide legal advice; always assess your specific setup with your DPO/legal counsel. We’re happy to answer their questions at <a href="mailto:hello@scoby.io" rel="nofollow ugc">hello@scoby.io</a></p>
<h3>Privacy approach (GDPR / ePrivacy)</h3>

<li><strong>No user profiles or cross-site tracking</strong></li>
<li><strong>Anonymization before transmission</strong> and <strong>aggregated storage</strong> (no individual-level analytics)</li>
</ul>
<p>This means Scoby is not trying to “optimize consent rates”. Instead, it aims to reduce or avoid regulated processing operations in the first place by keeping analytics <strong>non-identifying</strong> and <strong>aggregate</strong>.</p>

<li>Referrers and traffic sources (without persistent identifiers)</li>
</ul>
