No cookies. No cookie banner.

Boxlet CMS doesn't set a single cookie for your visitors. Not on pages, not on the 404, not when someone sends a form.

A cookie scan of demo.boxletcms.org: no cookies are set before consent, with 0 necessary, preference, analytical, marketing and other cookies.

Checked in a real browser

We opened every kind of page and sent a form, and the cookie jar stayed empty. Forms keep a salted hash of the sender's IP for spam limits, never the address.

What else stays quiet

  • Fonts come from your own server.
  • Videos and maps load only when pressed. YouTube then comes from youtube-nocookie.com, and a map can be OpenStreetMap.
  • Four small scripts at most, each only on a page that needs it.
The Statistics screen: visitors, page views and views per visitor for 30 days, each compared with the period before, and a chart of visitors and views by day.

Statistics without a tracking script

Visitors and page views by day, compared with the period before. Nothing is added to the page.

Statistics: the pages read, where visitors came from, their countries and their devices, each with visitors and views.

Where people came from

The pages people read, where they came from, and their devices, browsers and systems.

Statistics: a world map of where visitors are, above tables of the pages read and where visitors came from.

Where they are

Countries on a map, and if you like regions and cities, from a location database on your own server (DB-IP).

The statistics settings: counting on, Do Not Track honoured, and how much of a visitor's location is counted.

How a visitor is counted

An anonymous key that changes every day, so nobody can be followed from one day to the next. The IP address makes the key and is never stored. You're not counted while logged in, and well-known bots aren't either. Do Not Track can be honoured.

A paragraph for your privacy policy

Written from your own settings, in English or Croatian. A starting point, not legal advice.

What if I already use another analytics tool?

Switch Boxlet's statistics off in Settings.

Can I export the counts?

Yes, everything as CSV, and you choose how long counts are kept.

Next: Design, without writing CSS

This is the part Boxlet is really about.
