# Know your readers. Not their cookies.

> Visitors, sources, countries and email in one dashboard, without cookies or a banner. A world map of your readers, and your members on it.

PixelGlass analytics count your site's traffic **without cookies and without keeping an IP address**. Your dashboard has four tabs: the overview, your web traffic, your campaigns and your audience, with a world map of where your readers are.

## Every number, on your front page.

Visitors, views, visits, bounce rate and visit duration for today, 7, 30 or 90 days, each against the period before. Click any page, source, country or device, and **the whole tab follows it**.

- Today by the hour
- Visitors right now, from the last five minutes
- A world map shaded by visitors, the countries five at a time

## See where your members are.

The Audience tab counts your members, who joined, who pays and the comments. **A map shows each member in the country they were last seen in**, with the faces of the latest ones, a link to each one.

- Who joined and who signed in, newest first
- Growth by day
- The latest comments, for the people who moderate

## No cookies. No banner.

**A visitor is a code that changes every day**, so nobody can be followed from one day to the next. Data older than 13 months is deleted every night.

- No IP address stored with your stats
- Bots left out of the count

## See what each post does.

**Every post has its views and visitors beside the newsletter's opens and clicks.** The Campaigns tab adds up every send of the period, and readers who come from a newsletter are counted under their own source.

## In short

- **Pages and entry pages.** What readers open first, and what they read most.
- **Sources and campaigns.** Referrers, UTM sources and campaigns, and Direct or none.
- **Countries and devices.** A map of the world, desktop, phone and tablet, browsers and systems.

## Questions

### Does PixelGlass use cookies for analytics?

No. PixelGlass counts page views without a cookie and stores no IP address with your stats. A visitor is a code that changes every day, so a visitor cannot be followed across days.

### Do I need a cookie banner for PixelGlass analytics?

PixelGlass analytics set no cookie and keep no address with your stats. Your own legal duties depend on where you and your readers are.

### What does the PixelGlass dashboard show?

Four tabs. Overview has your headline figures, visitors by day, your latest post and your top posts. Web traffic has visitors, views, visits, bounce rate and visit duration, with pages, entry pages, sources, campaigns, countries on a world map, devices, browsers and systems. Campaigns has every email of the period. Audience has your members, their growth, a map of where they are and their latest activity.

### Can I see where my members are?

Yes. The Audience tab shows a world map of your members by the country they were last seen in, from a sign-in, a click on a newsletter link or a page read while signed in. The faces of the latest members stand on each country.

### How long is analytics data kept?

13 months. Older data is deleted every night.

### Can I see stats for a single post?

Yes. Each post's campaign page shows its views and visitors next to its newsletter's delivered, opened and clicked figures.
