Tutorials on the product, not a resource centre.

MCP for Claude and Cursor, the read API, first-party install, goals, a week next to Google Analytics, client share links, and where the rows live. The method page is the engineering version.

Ask Claude about your pageviews: Cookie Free Analytics MCP
Hosted MCP at /mcp. OAuth 2.1 in Claude and Cursor, or the hashed bearer. Ask about visitors, pages, sources, and live — no cookies, no visitor hashes. Starter and Growth.
Tutorial · 26 August 2026
The dashboard as JSON: Cookie Free Analytics read API
Starter and Growth mint a hashed bearer. GET the same visitors, pages, sources, live, and Growth funnels you already see. No visitor hashes. Not a user graph.
Tutorial · 25 August 2026
Where Cookie Free Analytics actually stores pageviews
Beacons hit Frankfurt. Pageviews sit in Ireland Postgres. Vercel is still a US company. How to check the split, and what leaves the EU when someone signs in.
Tutorial · 25 August 2026
Serve /cf.js from your hostname so list blockers miss it
Tutorial: Path rewrite or a c. CNAME — one method, not both. Why a 301 on the snippet is a gift to blockers. How Cookie Free Analytics issues TLS.
Tutorial · 25 August 2026
Count a signup with cfa() — events are not billed
Tutorial: add a thank-you URL, fire cfa('signup'), and match the event name in Goals. Cookie Free Analytics does not add named events to the pageview volume.
Tutorial · 25 August 2026
Leave Google Analytics on. Add a 1 KB script. Compare totals.
Tutorial: dual-run Cookie Free Analytics next to GA4 for seven days. The gap is consent and blockers, not a migration of BigQuery. Keep GA if you need ads audiences.
Tutorial · 25 August 2026
Share a dashboard with a client — not a white-label stack
Tutorial: invite a viewer, or turn on the public /s/… link and embed. Cookie Free Analytics has team seats on the plan. It does not theme the dashboard as your agency.

Notes

Consent · 17 August 2026
A reject click is not a missing visit
Cookie banners and blockers hide pageviews from Google Analytics. Cookieless analytics still counts the load.
Product · 17 August 2026
What a 1 KB analytics script actually sends
The Cookie Free Analytics script stays under 1 KB gzipped. Here is every field, and what the server adds without storing an IP.
Compare · 17 August 2026
You probably wanted pageviews, not a property ID
Google Analytics is built for ads identity. Cookie Free Analytics is a 1 KB script and one dashboard. When to keep both.
Methodology · 17 August 2026
How to count a person for one day without a cookie
Cookies and fingerprints are out. Referrer-only “visitors” undercount. A daily rotating hash counts one person today and forgets them tomorrow.
Pricing · 17 August 2026
Free analytics should not expire in 30 days
Cookie Free Analytics Hobby is the dashboard with a badge, 90 days, and 3 sites. Starter and Growth take the badge off — events are not extra.
