Privacy-friendly website analytics is about collecting less, gating on consent, and keeping data under your control. This page outlines the principles and where WebmasterID fits.
Privacy-conscious analytics commonly emphasizes data minimization, consent before collection, and an owned destination for events rather than wide third-party distribution.
Under frameworks like GDPR/ePrivacy, analytics is widely operated behind explicit consent. helperg.com loads its tracker only after the analytics category is granted under Google Consent Mode v2 — see the privacy & GDPR doc.
Collecting only what you act on reduces risk and makes the data easier to reason about. A narrow event model is a privacy-conscious default.
Sending events to an endpoint you control limits how widely data spreads. This is a deliberate part of the WebmasterID approach.
A privacy-friendly tool does not make a site compliant by itself, and it does not replace your consent banner or disclosures. Treat tooling as complementary to legal review.
This page describes general, publicly understood positioning and the design choices of each approach. It avoids benchmarks and performance claims; evaluate tools against your own requirements.

No. It is analytics, not a consent banner. It is designed for a consent-gated, privacy-conscious setup alongside your existing consent tooling.
