Active Analytics

Traffic analytics recorded server-side, in your own database, with a dashboard you
mount.

What you get

• Page views, entry and exit pages
• Traffic sources: which domains and pages send you people
• A dashboard engine, mounted wherever you like
• No cookies, no JavaScript, no consent banner

Mounting it

# Gemfile
gem "active_analytics"

# config/routes.rb
authenticate :user, ->(user) { user.admin? } do
  mount ActiveAnalytics::Engine, at: "analytics"
end

The argument that wins

Because it records on the server, ad blockers and tracking-protection extensions
cannot remove your numbers. Because it sets no cookies and collects no personal
data, there is no consent banner to show. Those two facts together usually make the
traffic figures more accurate than the hosted product they replace.
