Shynet is a modern, open-source web analytics solution that is privacy-friendly. Its special feature: it works without cookies and without persistent identifiers, making it a credible and sovereign alternative to Google Analytics — and in many cases, it avoids the display of intrusive consent banners on your site.

Despite its privacy-first approach, Shynet provides all essential metrics: page views, sessions, load times, bounce rates, referrers, location, and device types. Its tracking script is lightweight and automatically switches to a transparent pixel when JavaScript is disabled. Built on Django, it is customizable and handles tracking for multiple sites and users.

Architecturally, Shynet can run in a single container for modest-sized sites, or scale with parallelized ingestion nodes, a Redis cache, and dedicated workers for high-traffic sites. Hosted by DINAO in France, it gives you full ownership of your audience statistics.
