TrafficPoppy is GDPR-compliant by design: no cookies, no personal data, nothing stored on your visitors' devices — so there's nothing to ask them to accept. It runs in your own cloud account, so no analytics vendor ever holds your data, and pageviews are unlimited because you're not renting anyone's servers.
Free forever core · optional upgrade —/month per site, billed annually · your cloud bill: cents
Installs through AgentsPoppy, the free desktop app — no subscription there either.
Analytics that drop cookies make the law ask your visitors first — so everyone meets a pop-up before they meet your website, and the people who say no aren't counted. TrafficPoppy is built so that there is nothing to ask.
A decision between every visitor and your page — and "no" means not counted.
Your visitors see your website straight away — and you still get your numbers.
No cookies, no local storage, no fingerprinting. Consent is needed when something is stored on or read from a visitor's device — TrafficPoppy never does either.
An IP address is used for an instant, in memory, and never written. The salt that counts unique visitors is destroyed on rotation, so nobody can be followed from one day to the next.
Your visitors' data never reaches us — it goes from your website straight into your own cloud account, so there's no analytics processor to vet or sign a data processing agreement with.
You stay the data controller for your own website and its privacy notice, and other tools on your site that use cookies may still need consent. This describes how TrafficPoppy is built; it isn't legal advice. Check the code yourself →
TrafficPoppy isn't a website you sign up to. It's a poppy: a small app that installs its own backend into your cloud account. The thing that does that installing is AgentsPoppy — a free desktop app, and the honest reason we send you there first.
The desktop app for macOS, Windows & Linux that installs poppies into your own cloud. No subscription, no account with us, no credit card. It's how you connect your cloud account once, with tightly scoped permissions you can read before approving.
Pick it from the catalogue inside the app. It deploys a small serverless backend to your cloud account — collector, counters, nothing else — and hands you a one-line script tag for your site.
Statistics appear in the app immediately. Want them online at stats.your-site.com, shareable with your team? That's the Advanced Stats upgrade (—/month, billed annually) — everything else stays free forever.
Nothing. The platform is free to download and free to use — it makes its money only when a developer sells a premium feature inside a poppy, like our Advanced Stats upgrade. You pay your cloud provider for what you actually run (cents a month for a typical site), and nobody meters your traffic. Read about AgentsPoppy →

Plenty of good tools removed the cookie banner. But almost all of them still hold your traffic data on their servers, meter your pageviews, and bill you monthly for the privilege. TrafficPoppy removes the vendor, not just the cookie.
No visitor identifiers exist anywhere — not in transit, not at rest. Visitors are counted with a salted hash whose salt is destroyed on a rotating window (24 h by default). IP addresses are never written. GPC and Do-Not-Track are honoured absolutely: those visits aren't counted at all.
A small serverless collector and a table of aggregate counters, in your own cloud account. You can read every row with your own credentials, export everything, and one click removes the whole footprint — verified to leave no trace.
Hosted services meter pageviews because they pay for hosting. Your collector runs serverless in your own account, so a traffic spike costs you cents — never a plan upgrade, never a "you've hit your limit" email in your best week.
Part of Advanced Stats. Count the thing you actually wanted: visits to a thank-you page (retroactive — it counts the ones already recorded), or presses of a download, buy or contact button. Conversions, how many different visitors, and the rate, next to the rest of your stats.
A last-30-minutes ticker, views and visitors by day, busiest hours, new vs returning — with change vs the previous period on every number.
See where visits come in, how they move through the site, and where they leave — as aggregate flows, never as individual journeys.
Top pages, referrers, campaigns (utm source/medium/campaign only), browsers, systems, screen sizes — and visitor countries with the upgrade.
With Advanced Stats your script serves from stats.your-site.com — first-party, so blocklists stop hiding a slice of your audience.
Invite clients or teammates by email. They read your stats from any browser or phone — and can never touch your sites or your cloud account.
Save every number to a local file and bring it back after a fresh setup. Backups contain nothing about individual visitors — there is nothing of that kind to back up.
A handful of privacy-first services proved the world doesn't need cookies to understand traffic, and we admire them for it. The difference is architectural: they host your data, we don't touch it. And on price it isn't close — TrafficPoppy is the cheapest comparable product there is, because you host it yourself and there's almost nothing left for us to charge for.
| TrafficPoppy | Typical hosted analytics average of the leading privacy-first services | |
|---|---|---|
| Cookieless, no banner | Yes | Yes |
| Analytics vendor processing your visitors' data | None — no data processing agreement needed | Yes — they process it on their servers |
| Who stores your data | You — your own cloud account | Their servers |
| Pageview limits | None | Metered — allowance runs out, plan goes up |
| Entry price | $0 · upgrade —/mo per site, billed annually | ~$11/mo |
| A year of the paid tier | — | ~$130 |
| Conversion goals | With Advanced Stats — pages (retroactive) + buttons | Yes |
| Traffic-flow chart | Yes | Rarely |
| Runs without any vendor | Yes — even we can't see your data | No — cloud only, or servers you run yourself |
The comparison column is the average of the published entry plans of the leading cookieless hosted analytics services, checked August 2026; prices and allowances move, so treat it as the going rate rather than any one product's quote. Your cloud costs stay yours — typically cents per month at small-site traffic.
Because you host it yourself, there's almost nothing for us to charge for.

This is everything TrafficPoppy ever records about a visit. There is no more detailed data anywhere — not hidden, not aggregated later, not "anonymised". It never existed.
Not recorded, ever: IP addresses, cookies, fingerprints, session recordings, cross-site anything. Visitors with Global Privacy Control or Do-Not-Track are not counted at all — no exceptions, no override switch.
No. TrafficPoppy is GDPR-compliant by design: it sets no cookies, stores nothing on your visitors' devices and keeps nothing that identifies a person, so there's nothing to ask consent for. Visitors sending Global Privacy Control or Do-Not-Track aren't counted at all. (Other tools on your site that use cookies may still need a banner of their own.)
Yes, by design. Consent is required when something is stored on or read from a visitor's device, or when personal data is kept — and TrafficPoppy does neither. IP addresses are used only in memory and never written; the salt that counts unique visitors is destroyed on rotation, so no one can be followed across days; and your statistics are anonymous counts in your own cloud account. Your visitors' data never reaches us, so there's no analytics vendor to sign a data processing agreement with. You remain the controller for your own website and its privacy notice — this describes how the product is built, not legal advice.
In your own cloud account, as aggregate counters (views per page per day, referrer counts, and so on). You can read it with your own credentials whenever you like — the schema is documented, and there's no lock-in to escape from.
The stack is serverless and billed per use: for a typical small or medium site it comes to cents per month, and nothing at all when nobody visits. The app shows what it spends instead of hiding it behind a plan.
Really. Metering exists because hosted vendors pay for the servers your data sits on. Yours sits in your account, so your best traffic day costs you cents — not an upgrade conversation.
It's the free desktop app that installs "poppies" — small, auditable apps that deploy their backend into your own cloud with tightly scoped permissions you approve, and remove themselves without a trace. It costs nothing: no subscription, no account with us, no card. The platform earns only when a developer sells a premium feature inside a poppy — for us, the Advanced Stats upgrade. TrafficPoppy is one click inside its catalogue.
Yes — the Conversions tracker comes with Advanced Stats, and setting one up is a single question: does someone reach a page (a thank-you or order-confirmation page — this kind counts retroactively, including visits already recorded), or does someone press a button or link (add one small attribute, data-tp-goal="download", to it — the app hands you a prompt for whatever AI edits your site, and the goal turns green on the first press). You then see conversions, how many different visitors converted, the rate, and the change vs the previous period — with a CSV. It stays counters: who converted is never recorded.
With Advanced Stats, yes: your statistics page lives at stats.your-site.com, and you invite people by email. They can read from any browser or phone, they can never change anything, and you can revoke access at any moment.
