<p>Zero Analytics gives you the traffic insights that matter: unique visitors, pageviews, top pages, referrer sources, devices, and countries (without ever collecting personal data).</p>
<p>No one ever said tracking people HAD to be creepy. By definition, most analytics tools are in fact super creepy (and in many cases, actually illegal), but it’s also possible to simply want to know how much monthly traffic you get, what content people like, and what countries you’re popular in, generally, without violating personal data.</p>
<p><strong>Privacy by Design</strong></p>

<h4>Credits</h4>
<p>This really beautiful plugin wraps the solution provided by osano (https://www.osano.com/cookieconsent/download/) into a wordpress plugin.<br />
This Version uses 3.1.0 from osano as basis, but it has a lot modifications to the original source code. It is optimized for performance and for a low database impact.</p>
<h4>NOTE: Using this plugin alone does not make your site automatically compliant. As each website and country is different you must make sure you have the right configurations in place. Google tag manager can help you with that for free.</h4>
