# Add Privatus Analytics to Discourse

> Add cookieless analytics to a Discourse forum by pasting one snippet into your theme's Head tab, and allow the script in the content security policy.

You need to be an admin of the forum.

1. Go to **Admin → Customize → Themes**.
2. Select your active theme and choose **Edit CSS/HTML**.
3. Open the **Head** tab and paste the snippet:

```html
   <script defer src="https://privatusstats.com/js/pa.js" data-site="pa_YOURSITEID" data-modules="engage,auto,vitals,clicks,ask"></script>
   ```

4. Save, then reload the forum.

You can also put the snippet in a theme component and add the component to
your theme, so it survives a theme change.

## Content security policy

If the browser console reports the script as blocked, add the tracker host
(`https://privatusstats.com`) to Discourse's `content security policy script src`
site setting under **Admin → Settings**.

Discourse is a single-page app. The tracker follows its `history.pushState`
navigations automatically, so each topic or list view counts once. See
[single-page apps](/docs/tracker/spa).
