The General Data Protection Regulation (RGPD) that came into effect on May 25, 2018, oblige the owners of the websites to inform users of the following aspects:
<ul>
<li>Who is responsible for the processing of your data?</li>
<li>What is the purpose for which personal data are collected?</li>
<li>What is the legal basis for collecting the data?</li>
<li>Who can be the recipients of personal data?</li>
<li>What are the rights that users can exercise in terms of data protection?</li>
</ul>
This information, in addition to the Privacy Policy of the web, must be present in a first layer of basic information below each form or data collection channel of the web.
Another obligation for the owners of the websites is to obtain the consent of the users, explicitly, in order to collect and process their data. To obtain this consent, the user must take an action (such as check a checkbox), that is, the users must be aware that they are giving their consent for a specific purpose.
WordPress, although it included in the comment form of the blog a checkbox so that users could save their data in a cookie to be used in the future, didn’t put neither the link to the Privacy Policy nor the first layer of information, obligatory by the regulation. For this reason, this plugin is born, to add those elements and thus the owners of the websites can comply with the law.

GDPR Comments

This plugin allow you to add a checkbox to accept Privacy Policy before add a comment.

<h4>Finally, analytics that you’ll actually use.</h4>
Google Analytics is overkill. Other WordPress statistics plugins are cluttered and confusing. You just want to know what’s happening on your site – without a data science degree.
Burst Statistics gives you a clean, intuitive analytics dashboard focused on the metrics that actually matter. No external accounts. No complex setup. Install, activate, and understand your traffic in seconds.
Trusted by 200,000+ WordPress sites. Built by the experienced team behind UpdraftPlus, WP-Optimize, and All-In-One Security.

Built for WordPress

<h4>Privacy and Data Sharing</h4>
Burst Statistics includes an optional data sharing program. It is disabled by default. You can enable it under Burst Statistics → Settings → Data Sharing, and you can turn it off again at any time from the same location. 
When enabled, the plugin sends a small set of aggregated, anonymized metrics to Burst Statistics’ servers once per month. This includes traffic statistics (visitors, pageviews, bounce rate, session duration), database row counts and query performance timings. No personal data, IP addresses, domain names, or visitor information is ever transmitted. All data is aggregated on your server before it leaves, making it impossible to trace back to your website or any individual user.
We use this data to: 
* build anonymous industry benchmarks so you can compare your site’s performance against peers; 
* understand which features are most used, so we can prioritize development effectively; 
* know which WordPress and PHP versions are in active use, so we can make informed support decisions; 
* identify slow database queries across real-world installs, so we can improve plugin performance for everyone.
For the complete list of data fields collected and full details on how the data is used, please read our <a href="https://burst-statistics.com/how-we-handle-anonymous-usage-data/" rel="nofollow ugc">Data Sharing Policy</a>. 
This feature connects to: https://api.burst-statistics.com

<li>Go to Plugins → Add New in your WordPress dashboard</li>

<li>Click Install Now, then Activate</li>

That’s it. No external accounts. No tracking codes to paste. Burst starts collecting statistics immediately.

Burst Statistics – Privacy-Friendly WordPress Analytics (Google Analytics Alternative)


Sistema de estadísticas muy sencillo. Me ofrece justo los datos que necesito. Es decir, la evolución de usuarios y visitas a lo largo de los días y un contador de visitas para cada entrada/post. Ni más, ni menos.



Además tiene una opción para no usar cookies, con lo que me he podido ahorrar poner el aviso de cookies en mi web. Tampoco te afecta tanto a los tiempos de carga como si se usara un sistema de estadísticas externos.



En resumen, sencillo, sin usar cookies y apenas afecta a la velocidad del sitio.


Estadísticas sencillas sin usar cookies


On-premise Analytics is a great, if not the best, alternative to Google Analytics in the GDPR era.



On top of that, since it's native to WordPress, it's so easy to configure Goals, etc. That's awesome.



I'd like to see funnels somehow brought to live in this plugin, but I don't know if that's doable while respecting user's privacy.


Great product with great potential!

Analytics you'll actually use. Privacy-friendly, zero config, and designed to be actionable. Get insights, not just raw data.
