Because Kipstats uses no cookies and stores no personal data, you generally don't need a consent banner for it — fewer popups, more conversions.
No personal data leaves the EU and nothing is sold to advertisers. Compliance is the default, not a checklist you have to manage.
GA4 buries the basics under funnels and explorations. Kipstats shows visitors, pageviews, sources and countries on one fast page.
A sub-2KB script versus tens of kilobytes — no measurable hit to your Core Web Vitals or page speed.
Export everything as CSV or delete it permanently at any time. No lock-in, no ad-tech repurposing of your traffic.
Watch live visitors land on an interactive 3D globe — something Google Analytics has never offered.
For the vast majority of websites, yes. Kipstats covers visitors, pageviews, bounce rate, duration, top pages, referrers, countries, devices, UTM campaigns and custom events. If you rely on deep ad-attribution funnels, GA may still complement it.
Kipstats sets no cookies and collects no personal data, so it does not require consent under GDPR/PECR for its own tracking. Always confirm with the rest of the scripts on your site.
Remove the Google Analytics snippet and add the single Kipstats script tag to your <head>. You'll see data within seconds. There is nothing else to configure.
No. The tracking script is under 2KB and loads with defer, so it has no measurable impact on load time or Core Web Vitals.
Replace one script tag and keep the metrics that matter. Free to start, no credit card.
