What is link tracking?
Link tracking shows you how often a link is clicked, where visitors come from and which devices they use. This turns a simple short link into a measurable marketing tool.
Why without cookies?
Classic tracking solutions set cookies and often require a consent banner. That is technically complex and legally delicate. Link tracking via short links works server-side and requires no cookies on your website – therefore GDPR-compliant and without additional consent.

Frequently asked questions
Is it really GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Tracking runs via the link call and not via cookies on your website, so no additional consent banner is required.
Do I see individual people?
No. You see aggregated, pseudonymous usage data – no personal profiles.
Can I append my own parameters?
Yes. You can add campaign and UTM parameters to cleanly distinguish channels.
