Guides for installing the tracker, reading the dashboard, and using the API.

Privacy

The Antics collection tracker sets no cookies or browser storage. The server creates a daily pseudonymous visitor bucket; analytics events do not store the raw IP address.

What the browser script does

The tracker sends the page URL, referrer, viewport width, time on the previous page, and, on hide or close, reading-time evidence plus Core Web Vitals. Custom-event properties are only what your own code supplies.

  • No collection cookies are set or read.
  • localStorage and sessionStorage are not accessed.
  • The script does not use canvas, font, or WebGL probing.

Daily visitor bucket

Same-day visits and journeys need a grouping key. The server derives a daily pseudonymous visitor bucket from a random midnight-discarded salt, registered site, user agent, and IP address. The salt is discarded at UTC midnight. It is a grouping aid, not a login, and it is not a claim that people cannot be singled out.

The source IP is also used for GeoIP lookup. After that derivation, analytics events do not store the raw IP address.

What this is not

Antics measures how a site is used. It does not build advertising profiles. Event rows can still carry a path, timestamp, referrer host, and device class, so treat them as operational analytics data and keep personal data out of URLs and custom-event properties.
