Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Kantan Analytics – Cookieless Self-Hosted Analytics & Heatmaps
No. Kantan uses browser localStorage to recognise returning visitors, never cookies. No consent banner is required in most jurisdictions, and no cross-site tracking is possible.
All data is stored in your WordPress database in wp_kantan_* tables, with daily aggregates in a local SQLite file under wp-content/uploads/kantan/. Nothing is sent to external servers.
The tracking script categorizes referrers automatically: Organic: Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Baidu Social: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok Referral: Other external sites Direct: No referrer or same domain UTM parameters override referrer-based detection when present, and they stay attached to the visitor through every page and conversion in the session.
No. The tracking script loads asynchronously after page content and uses sendBeacon for exit tracking. There are no blocking requests, no third-party domains, and no external CDNs. Performance impact is well under 10ms.
Kantan is designed for privacy-first compliance under modern privacy law: no cookies, no IP storage, no cross-site tracking, and — unless you switch on the optional Attribution Webhook — no data leaves your server. In most jurisdictions you do not need a consent banner to use it. We're not lawyers — confirm with yours — but architecturally the tool is built for privacy-first compliance rather than retrofitting it.
Yes. The tracking script is loaded via standard wp_enqueue_script and runs client-side, so cached pages still record visits correctly. The only thing to watch for is plugins that delay or defer JavaScript so aggressively that visitors leave before the script fires — exclude kantan-analytics/assets/tracking.js from any "delay JS until interaction" rule and you'll be fine.
Not currently. Kantan starts tracking the moment you activate it, and historical GA data has a different structure that doesn't map cleanly. If GA→Kantan import is something you need, drop us a note at https://trykantan.com.
Nothing — your data stays in the database. Deactivating just stops new tracking and hides the dashboard. If you uninstall (delete) the plugin, the tables remain unless you explicitly drop them; this is standard WordPress behavior and lets you reactivate without losing history.
Logged-in admins are excluded by default. The Settings tab also lets you exclude specific IP addresses (one per line). Common bot user-agents are filtered automatically.
A downloadable .md file from the dashboard that turns any AI coding agent (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and compatible tools) into a read-only analyst for your site. It uses a WordPress application password you generate, calls the REST API, and answers questions in plain English. It only reads — nothing it sees leaves your terminal unless you ask.
