🧬 About Simple Analytics
Simple Analytics was founded in 2018 by privacy enthusiast and software engineer Adriaan van Rossum. It's a privacy-first alternative to Google Analytics that is cookieless by design and does not collect any personal data. We provide our customers with the information they need regarding their website while preserving the privacy of internet users.
To put it in plain English: Most businesses have websites, and to check their website statistics, most companies use Google Analytics. This is a free product built by Google, but it comes at a cost. Because you install Google Analytics on your website, Google tracks your website visitors and sells their data for advertising purposes.
We feel this needs to change, and we are not alone. Since 2018 the GDPR has come into effect to protect internet users' privacy. However, Google won't change because selling your data is their business model. Hence, there is a growing need for companies that do it differently.
🤩 The Challenge
