| Important considerations |
The On-Premise core is free; premium plugins and operations add cost. Cookieless tracking requires explicit configuration and reduces returning-visitor accuracy. Disabling analytics cookies does not by itself settle consent or other privacy requirements. | Uses first-party cookies after opt-in; it is not cookieless. Data expires after six months. Public releases last recorded here are from May 2024; assess maintenance and security before adoption. |
