Google Analytics requires a cookie consent banner, sends data to Google, and is banned in multiple EU countries. WysLeap is GDPR compliant by default — no cookies, no consent banners, no risk.

Austria, France, Italy, and other EU countries have ruled Google Analytics non-compliant. WysLeap collects no personal data and is compliant by design — your legal team will approve it on first review.
Cookie consent banners cause 30–50% of visitors to opt out, creating blind spots in your analytics. WysLeap's cookieless tracking captures every visitor, giving you complete, unbiased data.
Session replay, heatmaps, rage click detection, AI intent scoring, and bot detection — all built in. Google Analytics 4 doesn't offer any of these. WysLeap replaces GA, Hotjar, and Mixpanel in one platform.
Yes. WysLeap covers all the core metrics Google Analytics provides — pageviews, sessions, traffic sources, geography, devices — plus adds session replay, heatmaps, and AI features that GA4 lacks. The main difference is that WysLeap requires no cookie consent and is GDPR compliant by default.
Google Analytics collects IP addresses and sends data to US servers, making it subject to GDPR restrictions in the EU. Multiple EU data protection authorities (Austria, France, Italy) have ruled GA non-compliant. WysLeap collects no personal data, uses no cookies, and stores data on first-party servers, making it compliant by design.
The opposite is typically true. Google Analytics loses 30–50% of data when visitors decline the consent banner. WysLeap's cookieless tracking captures 100% of visitors regardless of consent status, typically resulting in significantly more complete data.
Setup takes under 5 minutes. Add one script tag to your site (or use the Next.js component), connect your domain, and you're collecting data. No configuration needed — WysLeap tracks pageviews, sessions, and custom events automatically.
