Loglyuk Privacy Analytics

Description

Loglyuk Privacy Analytics brings cookieless, privacy-first web analytics to your WordPress site — a lightweight alternative to Google Analytics that measures your traffic without cookies, without storing personal data, and without a consent banner. You see your stats right inside the WordPress dashboard, and the tracking script is under 1 KB, so it won’t drag down your page speed or Core Web Vitals.

Why Loglyuk?

  • See your stats inside WordPress — pageviews trend, top pages, referrers and country/device/browser charts right in wp-admin, rendered natively (no iframe)
  • Under 1 KB — zero impact on your Lighthouse score or Core Web Vitals
  • No cookie banner required — no cookies, no persistent identifiers, GDPR compliant by design
  • Works with ad blockers — including Brave Shields and uBlock Origin
  • Active time on page — measures real reading time, not just tab-open time
  • Free plan — 10,000 pageviews/month, forever, no credit card

What you get

  • Pageviews, sessions, visitors
  • Top pages and referrers
  • Countries, devices, browsers
  • Active visitors right now
  • Week-over-week comparison

Setup

  1. Install and activate the plugin
  2. Go to Loglyuk in the WordPress admin sidebar
  3. Enter your Site ID from app.logly.uk
  4. Done — no tag manager, no configuration file

External services

This plugin loads a tracking script from Loglyuk (https://logly.uk) and sends pageview data to Loglyuk’s servers so you can view analytics for your site. Loglyuk is a privacy-first web analytics service operated at logly.uk.

What is sent and when: every time a visitor loads a page on your site, the tracker script (loaded from https://logly.uk/p.js) sends a small GET request to https://logly.uk/e containing only:

  • the page path being viewed
  • an anonymous session hash (derived from IP + User-Agent + a daily-rotating salt; not reversible, not stored)
  • the visitor’s country (resolved from IP at the edge; the IP itself is never stored)
  • device, browser and OS family (e.g. “Mobile / Chrome / Android”)
  • the referrer URL, if any
  • your Site ID (so Loglyuk knows which property the pageview belongs to)

No cookies are set, no personal data is stored, and no consent banner is required under GDPR or PECR.

When this happens: only after you configure the plugin with a Site ID in the Loglyuk admin page. Without a Site ID, the plugin sends nothing.

Reading your analytics in wp-admin: when you open the Loglyuk admin page, the plugin fetches your aggregated, non-personal statistics (totals, top pages and referrers) from Loglyuk’s public API at https://app.logly.uk/api/public/<your-site-id>/stats and /breakdown, and renders them natively in WordPress. These read-only requests run only on the plugin’s admin page and only return data you have explicitly marked Public in your Loglyuk settings.

FAQ

Is Loglyuk a Google Analytics alternative?

Yes. Loglyuk is a lightweight, cookieless alternative to Google Analytics. It reports the metrics most site owners actually use — pageviews, visitors, sessions, top pages, referrers, countries, devices and browsers — without cookies, consent banners, or a heavy script.

Can I see my analytics inside the WordPress dashboard?

Yes. The plugin renders your stats natively on the Loglyuk admin page — a pageviews trend, top pages and referrers, and country, device and browser breakdowns — by reading Loglyuk’s public API. No external page is embedded in your admin area.

Do I need a cookie banner?

No. Loglyuk does not set cookies or store personal data, so no consent banner is required under GDPR or PECR.

Does it work with Brave or ad blockers?

Yes. Loglyuk is designed to work with Brave Shields, uBlock Origin, and Firefox Enhanced Tracking Protection.

Where do I find my Site ID?

In your Loglyuk dashboard at app.logly.uk — go to Settings for your site and copy the ID from the installation snippet.
