Pulse
Privacy-first web analytics. No cookies, no fingerprinting, no personal data collection. GDPR compliant by architecture.·pulse.ciphera.net
Pulse is a privacy-first, cookie-free web analytics platform built by Ciphera BV, hosted on Swiss and EU infrastructure. It tracks pageviews, visitors, referrers, and geographic data without cookies, fingerprinting, or personal data collection, so no consent banner is required under GDPR, CCPA, or PECR. Beyond basic traffic stats, it offers conversion funnels, visitor journeys, custom event tracking, performance monitoring (Lighthouse/Core Web Vitals), and uptime monitoring. The dashboard and tracking script are open source; the managed cloud backend is closed-source.
