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
