Your database
Every visit is stored in a database that belongs to you. Export all of it, any time.
HarborByte Analytics
Privacy-first analytics. You own the data.
See every visit, every campaign, and every sale without handing your visitors to an ad company. HarborByte Analytics tracks without cookies, counts every visit with no sampling, and keeps the full history in a database that belongs to you. We host it, patch it, and back it up, and it is included at no extra cost with HarborByte web hosting.
Ownership
Your data stays yours. Full stop.
Free analytics tools are often paid for with your visitors' data. HarborByte Analytics answers to one owner: you.
Never sold, never profiled
HarborByte does not sell your visit data and never uses it to build advertising profiles.
Nothing pooled
Your reports contain your traffic only. Nothing is combined with another client's site or another company's data.
The service
You read the reports. We run everything else.
Servers, updates, security patches, backups, and uptime are on HarborByte. There is nothing for your team to maintain.
Updates and patches
We apply every analytics release and every server security patch. You never schedule maintenance.
99.999% uptime
Run on redundant servers for 99.999% uptime, so tracking stays online when a machine fails.
Backups
The analytics database is backed up on a schedule. A failed disk does not take your visit history with it.
Access control
Only the people you invite can sign in. Give the owner, the marketing lead, and the agency their own logins.
Where it runs
Included with hosting. Or on your own servers.
Every site HarborByte hosts gets HarborByte Analytics at no extra cost. We install the tracking, connect the reports, and hand you the login.
If the data has to stay on hardware you control, we deploy HarborByte Analytics on your network and keep it patched and backed up there. Same reports. Your servers. Your database.
The reports
Full analytics, minus the surveillance.
Every report a marketing team needs, built on data you control.
Real-time visitors
See who is on the site right now, which page they landed on, and where they came from.
Every visit, unsampled
Reports are built from every recorded visit. No sampling and no estimated totals.
Cookieless tracking
Tracks without cookies, so most sites do not need a cookie consent banner for analytics.
Goals and funnels
Name the actions that matter, like a form submit or a booking, and see exactly where people drop off on the way.
Ecommerce
Orders, revenue, and products, tied back to the campaign that brought the buyer.
Heatmaps and session recordings
See where people click and scroll, and replay sessions to watch a page get used.
Campaigns and UTMs
Every tagged email, ad, and social post shows up with its visits, goals, and revenue.
Dashboards and scheduled reports
Build your own dashboards, email reports to the team on a schedule, and pull anything by API.
Google Analytics import
Bring your Google Analytics history with you, so switching does not reset your trend lines.
Setup
Live in three steps.
Pick where it runs
On HarborByte infrastructure, or on hardware you control.
We connect the site
We install the tracking, set up your goals and ecommerce, and import your Google Analytics history if you have one.
Sign in and read
Your reports are live. The database behind them is yours to export at any time.
Before you start
Questions we get
Is this included with hosting?
Yes. Every site on HarborByte web hosting includes HarborByte Analytics, with no separate analytics fee.
Do we still need a cookie banner?
Not for analytics, on most sites. HarborByte Analytics tracks without cookies. If other tools on the site set cookies, those may still need consent.
Can we keep our Google Analytics history?
Yes. We import your existing Google Analytics data, so your reports start with your history instead of a blank chart.
Can the database stay on our network?
Yes. We deploy HarborByte Analytics on hardware you control and keep it updated and backed up there. The database never leaves your network.
What software is this?
HarborByte Analytics is built on Matomo, the open-source analytics platform. HarborByte hosts it, configures it, and keeps it updated. The database belongs to you.
What is backed up?
The full analytics database, which holds your visit history. Backups run on a schedule, so a failed disk is an inconvenience, not a loss.
