sparlos

Spårlös (pronounced “spar-loess”, also searchable as “Sparlos”) is a privacy-friendly Google Analytics alternative for WordPress. Cookie-free, GDPR-compliant, and hosted entirely in the EU. The plugin connects your WordPress site to your Spårlös account in one click and starts collecting visitor statistics in under 30 seconds. No cookies, no fingerprinting, no cookie banner, no data transfer to the US.
If you have been looking for a lightweight Google Analytics alternative, or a WordPress-native replacement for Plausible, Fathom, Matomo, or Simple Analytics, Spårlös is built for the same use case: real web analytics without the GDPR baggage.
Why people switch from Google Analytics to Spårlös:
<ul>
<li>No cookie banner needed. We set zero cookies, store no IP addresses, and run no fingerprinting.</li>
<li>Lighter than GA4. The tracker is under 1.5 KB gzipped (vs. ~45 KB for gtag.js), so your Core Web Vitals stay green.</li>
<li>EU-hosted. Schrems II safe. No US sub-processors in the data path.</li>
<li>GDPR Article 28 Data Processing Agreement (DPA) auto-generated at signup.</li>
<li>Real-time dashboard with visitor journeys, not just pageview counts.</li>
</ul>
What the plugin does:
<ul>
<li>Connects your WordPress site to Spårlös via a secure one-time token. No API key to paste, no manual snippet copy.</li>
<li>Injects the analytics tracker snippet automatically on every public page.</li>
<li>Proxy mode (on by default) serves the tracker from your own domain, so ad blockers that match common analytics hostnames cannot block it. Bypass uBlock Origin, AdGuard, Brave Shields, and EasyPrivacy lists transparently.</li>
<li>Only loads on public page views. Admin, REST, AJAX, and feed requests are untouched, so admin performance is unaffected.</li>
</ul>
What you get on the Spårlös dashboard:
<ul>
<li>Real-time visitor timeline. See live visitors and the page they are on right now.</li>
<li>Visitor journeys. The most common paths users take through your site, drillable to individual sessions.</li>
<li>Top pages, top sources, top countries, top browsers, top devices, top outbound links.</li>
<li>UTM campaign tracking. Source, medium, campaign, term, content breakdowns.</li>
<li>Goals and conversion tracking. Path-based goals with conversion rate over time.</li>
<li>Multi-step funnels. See where in a checkout or signup flow users drop off.</li>
<li>Uptime monitoring (Pro plan). Get alerted when your site goes down.</li>
<li>Weekly email summary every Monday (Pro plan).</li>
<li>Data export (CSV, JSON) and PDF monthly report.</li>
</ul>
Privacy by design:
<ul>
<li>No cookies, no localStorage, no sessionStorage.</li>
<li>IP addresses are discarded immediately after country lookup (never stored).</li>
<li>A daily rotating hash prevents linking visitors across days or across sites.</li>
<li>All data is stored within the EU. No US sub-processors in the data path.</li>
<li>DNT (Do Not Track) and Global Privacy Control are respected on both the client and the server.</li>
</ul>
