Open‑source, lightweight website analytics, an alternative to Google Analytics. Privacy‑focused, no cookie consent banners required. Self‑hostable, with a free cloud tier.
Umami is an open‑source website analytics tool focused on privacy. It doesn’t use cookies or track individuals, so no cookie consent banners are needed. Self‑hosted is free; cloud has a free tier.
I self‑hosted Umami on a VPS to replace Google Analytics. The dashboard shows clean traffic trends without ads, and the site no longer needs a cookie consent banner—better user experience.
Umami simplifies analytics and is fully GDPR‑compliant.
Pro tip: Track custom events like button clicks or form submissions to understand user behavior.
