Install the Privatus Analytics tracker
Install the cookieless Privatus Analytics tracker with one script tag, set common options like auto events and Web Vitals, and find a guide for your platform.
Every install comes down to one script tag in the <head> of every page:
<script defer src="https://privatusanalytics.com/js/pa.js" data-site="pa_YOURSITEID"></script>
- Replace
pa_YOURSITEIDwith your site id from Site settings → Tracking. The snippet generator on that page builds the tag for you, including any options you switch on. deferloads the script without blocking your page. The core script is a few kilobytes and sets no cookies.- Add options as
data-attributes. The most common:
| You want to… | Add |
|---|---|
| Track outbound links, downloads, forms and 404s automatically | data-modules="engage,auto" |
| Measure Web Vitals | data-modules="engage,vitals" |
| Track a hash-routed single-page app | data-spa="hash" |
| Send pageviews yourself | data-manual="true" |
| Skip admin pages | data-exclude="/admin/*" |
The full list is in the attribute reference.
Warning: Setting data-modules replaces the default list. The
engage module (time on page and scroll depth) is on only when you leave
data-modules out or include engage in it.
