Τι είναι Cookieless analytics;

Cookieless analytics measures your traffic without storing cookies or any similar identifier on the visitor's device. Instead of labeling each visitor with a persistent ID, the server groups pageviews into sessions using short-lived, non-reversible tokens derived from connection attributes, then discards the linkable parts. Nothing on the device, nothing to look a person up with later.

The consequence people care about: storing identifiers on a device requires consent under European ePrivacy rules, so avoiding them is what lets a site drop the consent banner for analytics. That is also an accuracy story, since cookie-based tools silently lose the 30 to 60 percent of visitors who reject or never answer the prompt. The honest trade-off is recognition over time: without a durable ID, anonymous visitors cannot be recognized across devices or across months, so long-window anonymous retention and remarketing audiences are off the table.

Note that cookieless is not automatically privacy-friendly; a tool can skip cookies and fingerprint aggressively instead, which regulators treat the same way. The cookieless analytics guide covers how the counting works and when the trade-off makes sense.
