Prisme Analytics | Customizable, privacy-friendly Google Analytics alternative | WarmIndex

Prisme Analytics is a customizable, privacy-friendly, open-source alternative to Google Analytics designed for website owners seeking GDPR-compliant web analytics with forever data retention.

🚀 Overview

Prisme Analytics provides a lightweight, high-performance web analytics solution that prioritizes user privacy and compliance, eliminating the need for cookie banners and avoiding data mining practices common in tools like Google Analytics.

It solves problems like bot traffic pollution, data loss over time, performance issues during traffic spikes, and privacy violations by offering bot-blocking, unlimited data retention, scalable infrastructure, and full GDPR/PPCA/PECR/Schrems II compliance.

Built for website owners, indie developers, SaaS teams, and businesses in the EU or privacy-conscious markets who want accurate insights without vendor lock-in or selling visitor data.

The project was created to deliver a progressive, self-hostable analytics service using modern open-source tech, giving users control over their data in an era of increasing privacy regulations.

✨ Key Features

Privacy-First Tracking: GDPR-compliant with no cookies required, anonymized data, and no data selling—ideal for legal compliance without consent banners.
Humans-Only Analytics: Automatically blocks bots, scrapers, and spam to show real visitor behavior.
Custom Events & Dashboards: Track specific actions, build funnels, histograms, geomaps via Grafana-powered panels and SQL-queryable API.
Forever Data Retention & Real-Time: Keep data indefinitely, see updates instantly; supports UTM campaigns, spike traffic, and no-JS fallback.

Optional: Product analytics like user segmentation, retention, and paths (upcoming).
