Why teams switch to Dashly
The cookieless analytics that shows you what makes money — not just what gets clicks.
No cookies means no data loss
Cookie-based tools lose 30-40% of data when users decline cookies. Dashly is cookieless — you capture 100% of visitors, every time.
No consent banner required
Cookieless analytics don't need a consent banner under GDPR/ePrivacy in most jurisdictions. Cleaner UX, higher conversion, no legal headaches.
2KB script vs GA4's 98KB
Dashly's script is ~2KB. GA4's is ~98KB. A lighter script means faster page loads, better Core Web Vitals, and higher search rankings.
Bots filtered, not counted
Most analytics tools count AI crawlers and scrapers as visitors. Dashly filters them automatically — your numbers are real people, not bot traffic.

Frequently asked questions
What does cookieless analytics mean?
Cookieless analytics don't use HTTP cookies, localStorage identifiers, or fingerprinting to track users. Instead, they use privacy-safe methods like daily-resetting hashes to count unique visitors without identifying individuals. This means no consent banner is needed and no data is lost from cookie rejections.
Is cookieless analytics accurate?
Yes — often more accurate than cookie-based analytics. Cookieless tools capture ~100% of visitors because they don't depend on cookie consent. GA4 loses 30-40% of data when users decline cookies or use ad blockers.
Do I need a cookie banner with cookieless analytics?
In most jurisdictions, no. GDPR/ePrivacy requires consent for cookies and similar tracking technologies. Cookieless analytics that don't store personal identifiers typically don't require a consent banner. Always consult legal counsel for your situation.
How does Dashly count unique visitors without cookies?
Dashly uses a privacy-safe daily hash based on non-identifying signals (IP + user agent, hashed and discarded). The hash resets every 24 hours, so it can't track individuals over time or across sites. It accurately counts unique visitors per day without compromising privacy.
What's the best cookieless analytics tool?
Dashly is the best cookieless analytics tool for teams that need revenue attribution, bot filtering, and session replays. For simpler needs, Plausible and Fathom are also excellent cookieless options. See our full comparison in the blog.
