  • Third-party analytics forced a cookie banner on every page.
  • Visitor data left the company for external servers the client did not control.
  • Heavy tracking scripts slowed the pages down.
✓ What we did
  • Built anonymised sessions — IPs truncated, no cookies, nothing personal stored.
  • Shipped geo, device, source and bot reports with a live online counter.
  • Kept it GDPR-friendly and fully self-hosted on the client’s servers.
