Swetrix

Swetrix is a web analytics platform built to give you detailed visitor insights without invading your users' privacy. It runs entirely without cookies, which means you can track page views, unique visitors, session durations, and custom events without triggering GDPR or ePrivacy consent banners. The tool provides a live dashboard showing active users, referral sources, browser and OS breakdowns, and geographic data. You can also set up funnels, create custom metrics, and export reports.

Swetrix supports self-hosting via Docker, with an official repository on GitHub for easy deployment on your own infrastructure. It uses a lightweight tracking script that integrates with any website or web app. For those who prefer a managed service, the company offers a cloud version with tiered plans. The backend is written in Node.js with a PostgreSQL database, and the front end is a React SPA. Real-time updates come through WebSocket connections, keeping the dashboard always current.

The project is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license for self-hosted instances, with commercial licensing available for enterprise use. Swetrix was founded by Ukrainian developers and has gained traction among privacy-conscious site owners, bloggers, and small-to-medium businesses. Its zero-cookie approach makes it a strong alternative to Google Analytics for anyone needing straightforward analytics without legal headaches.
