Description

Pirsch is a simple, privacy-friendly, open-source web analytics tool. It’s lightweight, cookie-free and easily integrates into your WordPress installation, without using JavaScript. It does not collect data that can be uniquely assigned to a user, but instead shows aggregated statistics. Find out more here on how that works.
