Web Analytics for Astro

Among 32 makers' products we track that are built with Astro, here's what they chose for web analytics — each counted from a live-product source.

Cookie-free dashboard or full marketing suite. Cookie-free tools show pageviews, referrers, UTM campaigns and simple goals on one page and usually need no consent banner. Google Analytics is free and goes much deeper into campaigns and ads, but sets cookies, so EU visitors need a consent banner and some of them are never counted.
