Read our story →Four things we believe analytics should be.
Most analytics tools treat your visitors as inventory. They fingerprint browsers, stitch sessions across domains, and package the aggregate for advertisers. We do not. Glinto hashes visitors with SHA-256 and a salt that rotates every day at midnight UTC. We could not track someone across days even if we wanted to. Raw IP addresses are never written to disk. The result? No cookie banner. No consent popup. No legal gymnastics.
Our tracking script is approximately 6 KB. It loads in under 5 milliseconds from 300+ edge locations. Compare that to the 45 KB Google Analytics payload that phones home to Mountain View. We host everything on European infrastructure — your data hits a server in Frankfurt or Amsterdam, not Virginia. The dashboard is fast because we do not need to query a planet-scale advertising graph just to show you yesterday's pageviews.
Every Monday, Glinto sends you three paragraphs: what went up, what went down, and what deserves your attention. Plain English. No jargon. No vague recommendations. We do not train models on your visitors. We do not send your metrics to OpenAI. The summary is generated per account, in isolation, and then forgotten.
We charge a subscription because that is the only way to align our interests with yours. If you do not find Glinto useful, you leave, and we lose money. Simple. We do not have a data monetisation division. We do not offer a free tier funded by surveillance. Our free plan is genuinely free — one site, 3,000 pageviews, no credit card — because we believe you should try before you pay, not because we are harvesting your data while you decide.
Switching from Google Analytics?
Google Analytics is complex, slow, and designed to extract as much information about your visitors as possible. Glinto was built with the opposite philosophy.

Not marketing claims — technical constraints baked into the architecture. We could not break them even if we wanted to.
Our database is jurisdictionally locked to Europe. Visitor data never leaves European soil — guaranteed at the infrastructure level.
Your analytics data is yours. We never sell it, share it, or use it for any purpose other than showing you your own dashboard.
AI summaries are generated per-account, in isolation. No visitor data is used to train any model, ours or anyone else's.
Zero cookies. Zero localStorage. Zero cross-site fingerprinting. Remove your consent banner — for real, permanently.
