<p>PrivateStater is a privacy-friendly SaaS that combines three things you usually need three separate services for:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Analytics</strong> — page views, sessions, and click tracking, without cookies.</li>
<li><strong>Captcha</strong> — protect WordPress comments, login/registration, and Contact Form 7 forms with a no-image puzzle + proof-of-work challenge.</li>
<li><strong>Feedback widget</strong> — a floating button that lets visitors send text feedback, ratings, or screenshots.</li>
</ul>
<p>Once activated, paste your website name and PrivateStater loads on every public-facing page. The Captcha integrations stay off until you turn them on.</p>
<h4>Why PrivateStater?</h4>
<ul>
<li>No cookies. No cross-site tracking. No data sold to third parties.</li>
<li>One small script for all three features.</li>
<li>I run PrivateStater myself — questions go directly to a real person, not a ticket queue.</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to PrivateStater’s servers to provide analytics, Captcha, and feedback functionality. It does the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Loads the PrivateStater script (<code>https://privatestater.com/privatestater.js</code>) on every public-facing page after a site administrator enters a website name. The script provides visitor analytics, the feedback widget, and (when enabled) the Captcha widget.</li>
<li>Sends analytics and feedback events to PrivateStater’s servers. Depending on which dashboard features are enabled, this can include page URLs, referrers, browser and device details, click events, feedback text, ratings, and visitor-provided screenshots.</li>
<li>Sends Captcha verification requests to <code>https://privatestater.com/api/captcha/validate</code> when a protected form is submitted. The request includes the configured website name and the Captcha token returned by the visitor’s browser.</li>
</ul>

<h3>BugHerd Key Features</h3>
<h4>Feedback pinned to the exact element on a web page</h4>

Feedback is anchored to that specific element so your developer knows exactly what needs fixing – no more vague emails. <a href="https://bugherd.com/feature/easy-website-annotations?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=plugin_directory&utm_campaign=Details_page" rel="nofollow ugc">Learn more</a></p>
<h4>Automatic screenshot & full technical data captured</h4>
<p>A screenshot along with browser type, OS, screen resolution, and the exact URL are all captured automatically with every piece of feedback. Your team gets everything they need to reproduce and fix an issue without a single follow-up question. <a href="https://bugherd.com/feature/actionable-bug-reports?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=plugin_directory&utm_campaign=Details_page" rel="nofollow ugc">Learn more</a></p>
