It is designed to provide website operators with actionable usage statistics **without using cookies, device fingerprinting, or cross-site identifiers**. The WordPress integration is a **lightweight, client-side integration** that prioritizes visitor privacy. Scoby’s goal is to enable analytics in a way that can typically be operated under **legitimate interest** (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and **without consent banners**, provided it is used as intended and configured appropriately. Scoby does not provide legal advice; always assess your specific setup with your DPO/legal counsel. We’re happy to answer their questions at [hello@scoby.io](https://sl.wordpress.org/plugins/scoby-analytics/hello@scoby.io?output_format=md) ### Privacy approach (GDPR / ePrivacy) Scoby is designed around the following principles: * **No cookies / no storage on the user device** (relevant for ePrivacy / TDDDG) * **No device fingerprinting** * **No user profiles or cross-site tracking** * **Anonymization before transmission** and **aggregated storage** (no individual- level analytics) This means Scoby is not trying to “optimize consent rates”. Instead, it aims to reduce or avoid regulated processing operations in the first place by keeping analytics** non-identifying** and **aggregate**. ### What Scoby measures Scoby provides aggregated statistics such as: * Page views and visits * Entry/exit pages and content performance * Engagement metrics (e.g., time-spent distributions/percentiles) * Conversion events (depending on your setup) * Referrers and traffic sources (without persistent identifiers) ### What Scoby does not do * No cookies * No device fingerprinting * No cross-site tracking * No user/device profiles ### Reporting & exports * WordPress dashboard reporting * Export to `.xlsx` * Integrations with BI tools (e.g., Looker Studio, PowerBI, Tableau) ### Third Party Services Scoby Analytics uses Scoby-operated servers for analytics processing. ### Service Used **Service:** Scoby Analytics Servers **Purpose:** Capture, process, and store website usage statistics in an anonymized and aggregated form to provide analytics reporting. ### Data Handling and Privacy – **Anonymization prior to transmission:** Page views and associated metrics are anonymized before being transmitted to Scoby Analytics servers. – **Aggregation:** Stored data is aggregated and not intended to relate to identifiable individuals.–** No personal identifiers:** Scoby is designed to avoid collecting or storing identifiers such as cookies, fingerprinting signals, or IP addresses. ### Transparency and further information – Service information: https://www.scoby.io/ – Terms of Use: https://www.scoby. io/terms – Privacy Policy: https://www.scoby.io/privacy ## Screenshots * [[ * Dashboard Overview: Get a snapshot of your website’s performance. * [[ * Visitor Insights: Dive into detailed statistics about your visitors. * [[ * Real-Time Data: Monitor your website activity as it happens. * [[ * Custom Reports: Create tailored reports to track the metrics that matter most to you. * [[ * [[ * [[ * [[ ## Installation 1.

In many standard website scenarios, Scoby can be used without a consent banner because it is designed to avoid cookies, fingerprinting, and identifying user tracking, and to process anonymized, aggregated data. Whether you need consent depends on your specific implementation and legal assessment. ### Is Scoby GDPR / ePrivacy compliant? Scoby is designed to align with privacy-by-design principles and to minimize or avoid personal data processing. Scoby’s documentation explicitly notes the integration is privacy-focused and intended to support a legitimate-interest approach. Final responsibility for compliance remains with the site operator. ### What kind of data does Scoby collect? Aggregated, anonymized usage data (e.g., page views, engagement metrics, referrers/ traffic sources in non-identifying form). Scoby is designed to avoid collecting personal identifiers and does not rely on cookies or fingerprinting. ### How does Scoby ensure privacy compliance? By avoiding cookies and tracking identifiers and by anonymizing data before transmission, then processing/storing it only in aggregated form. Scoby’s docs also emphasize that it does not provide legal advice and recommend validating your setup with a DPO or legal team. ### Can I integrate Scoby with my reporting tools? Yes. Scoby supports `.xlsx` exports and can be connected to common BI/reporting tools (e.g., Looker Studio, PowerBI, Tableau). ### Is Scoby suitable for marketing teams?
