Pirsch is the open-source core of a privacy-focused, server-side web analytics solution written in Go. It tracks website traffic without cookies or personal data by hashing visitor fingerprints, storing results in ClickHouse, and is GDPR/CCPA/PECR compliant.
Use cases
- track website traffic server-side without cookies
- add privacy-friendly analytics to a Go application
- count page views even for visitors using ad blockers
- build a custom analytics dashboard for my site
- replace Google Analytics with a GDPR-compliant alternative
- track custom events and conversion goals
- self-host web analytics in the EU
When to choose
- you want cookie-free, privacy-compliant analytics integrated directly into a Go backend
- you need server-side tracking that bypasses ad blockers
- you want full data ownership and self-hosting with ClickHouse
- you need an open-source analytics core you can extend with your own dashboard
When to avoid
- you want a ready-made hosted dashboard without building anything (use the commercial Pirsch SaaS instead)
- your stack is not Go and you prefer a client-side script-based analytics tool
- you need client-side-only tracking with zero backend integration
- you require a permissive license - the core is AGPL-3.0
