Agencies
Client sites without a cookie banner tax
Small agencies on WordPress and Shopify still lose the Reject pile to a cookie banner. Cookie Free Analytics is a 1 KB /cf.js script that counts the pageview without a cookie. Hobby is free with a badge; Starter from €4; Growth from €8. Prestons Creek Capital. Beacons hit Frankfurt; pageviews sit in Ireland. Vercel is still a US company.
Who this is for
Small agencies that ship WordPress and Shopify sites. One 1 KB script per client. You are not buying an ads suite, session replay, or product analytics.
What you count
The visit happened after they clicked Reject. Cookie reports go dark. We still record the landing, the source, and a named goal. Dual-run next to GA4 if the client buys ads. We will not invent a lift percentage. Your logs are the case study.
What you paste
Add the site. WordPress: upload the plugin from GitHub and paste the public ID, or paste /cf.js. Shopify: theme settings. First-party is a c. CNAME. There is no Shopify app.
What it costs
Hobby is free with a Cookie Free Analytics badge — 3 sites, 90 days. Starter from €4 at 10k pageviews. Growth from €8. Watch is on Starter and Growth. Events are not billed. Paid invoices are issued by Prestons Creek Capital.
Where it runs
Beacons hit Frankfurt; pageviews sit in Ireland Postgres. Vercel is still a US company. The split is on /europe. Support: hello@cookiefreeanalytics.com.
What this is not
Not Google Ads. Not Hotjar. Not PostHog. Keep those if the client needs them. Keep us as the count of what actually loaded.
