Consent, GDPR, Australian privacy law, and what cookieless actually changes.
- UTM tracking without cookies — UTM tags are read from the landing URL, so cookieless analytics records campaigns without a cookie or banner. What you keep, what you lose, naming rules.
- How much traffic does a cookie banner cost? — Estimate the visitors analytics never sees when a consent banner blocks GA4. Simple maths, EU, UK and AU ranges, and when cookieless removes the banner.
- Analytics and the Australian Privacy Act — The Australian Privacy Act 1988 is not GDPR with extra vowels. How SiteLine maps to APPs, hashed IPs, overseas disclosure, and claims we will not make.
- Consent-free analytics — Consent-free means this tracker sets no analytics cookie that ePrivacy treats as a banner. It is not GDPR-free, notice-free, or a pass for other pixels.
- Cookieless tracking explained — SiteLine sets no first-party analytics cookie. Visitors are a daily hash of truncated IP and user agent: what is stored, omitted, and sent to our servers.
- Do I need a cookie banner for analytics? — A cookie banner is for cookies, not the word analytics. When a cookieless tracker removes the reason for one, and when the rest of the stack does not.
- EU analytics after Schrems — Schrems II made US transfers a documented problem, not a ban on analytics. SiteLine is cookieless, not EU-only: events reach Aglet, Stripe and Cloudflare.
- First-party analytics proxy — Proxy SiteLine’s script and collect path from your host so more events survive blockers. Configure nginx, Caddy, Cloudflare or Vercel. No managed CNAME.
- GDPR analytics without a consent banner — ePrivacy cares about cookies; GDPR cares about personal data. How SiteLine’s cookieless tracker changes the banner question, and what it does not legalise.
- IP anonymization vs cookieless analytics — GA IP anonymization still set a cookie. SiteLine truncates IPv4 /24 and IPv6 /48, hashes with a daily salt, and does not store the raw IP.
- Privacy-first analytics for agencies — Agency reporting without installing GA4 cookies on every client site. What SiteLine stores, what belongs in a proposal, and claims you should not make.
- Privacy-first analytics for SaaS — SaaS can measure usage without a first-party analytics cookie. How SiteLine hashes visitors, what still hits our servers, and what belongs in the notice.
