Shynet is an open-source, privacy-focused web analytics tool that provides insights about website traffic without using cookies or tracking scripts that invade users’ privacy. Unlike more conventional tools like Google Analytics, Shynet doesn’t track individual users or share data with third parties. It gives a clear overview of traffic data, including real-time users, page views, referrers, and other analytics, all while ensuring user anonymity.
Shynet can be self-hosted, allowing users complete control over their data. It gathers information by recording server requests, making it a more transparent and ethical solution for website owners who prioritize privacy. It’s particularly favored by organizations and individuals concerned about GDPR and privacy compliance.
