BimBeau Privacy Analytics

A WordPress analytics plugin you can trust

Understand your website traffic directly from WordPress with clear, real-time analytics designed with privacy in mind.

BimBeau Privacy Analytics stores your analytics data in your own WordPress database. No third-party analytics account is required, and your reports are available directly from the WordPress dashboard.

Simple to install, easy to understand, and built for website owners who want useful analytics without depending on a traditional external analytics platform.

BimBeau Privacy Analytics gives you the insights you need to understand how people find and use your website:

• Visits, page views, and recent activity.
• Active visitors in real time.
• Top pages and content performance.
• Traffic sources, referrers, campaigns, and acquisition channels.
• Devices, browsers, operating systems, and screen sizes.
• Country-level geolocation.
• Internal searches.
• 404 errors and missing pages.
• Visitor activity and engagement insights.

Everything is presented inside a clean WordPress interface, so you can understand your traffic without leaving your site.

Included in the Free plugin

BimBeau Privacy Analytics on WordPress.org is the complete Free plugin.

Its Free analytics features work without a license, payment, quota, or time limit. No third-party analytics account is required.

The Free plugin also includes configurable data retention, role exclusions, optional Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control handling, privacy settings, country-level geolocation, and real-time analytics.

A separate Pro edition is available from the author outside WordPress.org and replaces the Free plugin when installed.

Privacy and consent

BimBeau Privacy Analytics is designed around privacy-conscious analytics workflows.

Two levels of measurement are available:

• Essential statistics use the base tracker and are intended for situations where consent exemption applies.
• Advanced statistics use an enriched tracker that may require prior consent depending on local rules and your website configuration.

For consent-based setups, configure your consent management platform (CMP) to block bbpa-advanced-tracker / assets/js/bbpa-advanced-tracker.js before consent and release it only after the visitor accepts the Analytics / Statistics category.

BimBeau Privacy Analytics does not provide a consent banner, decide whether consent has been granted, or store consent records.

The plugin does not use tracking cookies or cross-site advertising identifiers. Essential tracking may use a temporary first-party browser storage identifier to group activity, prevent technical duplicate hits, and produce aggregated or anonymized audience statistics. It is not used for advertising, cross-site tracking, or visitor profiling.

BimBeau Privacy Analytics does not make a website GDPR-compliant by itself. Site owners remain responsible for their legal basis, privacy policy, consent configuration, and applicable legal requirements.

Pro edition

BimBeau Privacy Analytics Pro is a separate edition for users who want to go further with their analytics.

Depending on the active license, site configuration, consent setup, and available analytics data, Pro can add:

• Analytics exports for supported reports.
• Page Details for deeper page-level analysis.
• City geolocation reports and interactive map markers.
• Custom event tracking and event configuration.
• Content analytics directly inside WordPress content lists and the editor.
• An installable Stats App for desktop and mobile.
• White-label admin header controls.
• Panel visibility customization for the analytics navigation.
• Additional detailed reports and analysis tools.

The WordPress.org Free package remains fully usable without the Pro edition.

External services

The core analytics reports use data stored in your WordPress installation. A small number of optional or account-related features can contact external services when they are explicitly configured or used.

BimBeau GeoIP Database Service — Used to download the optional local database for country-level geolocation. Automatic database downloads are disabled by default. A request is made only after an administrator manually requests a download/update or later enables automatic updates. The service can receive the WordPress server IP address and a technical User-Agent; visitor IP addresses are not sent to BimBeau for local GeoIP lookups.

Referrer favicons — When this optional feature is enabled, the WordPress server may contact a referring website to retrieve its icon. The administrator browser uses the locally stored copy rather than requesting the icon directly from the referring website.

MaxMind — MaxMind API mode is optional and remains disabled until an administrator selects it and provides their own MaxMind credentials. When configured, MaxMind receives the IP address being resolved. The local GeoIP database mode does not use the MaxMind API.

Freemius — The plugin can use Freemius for account, licensing, pricing, upgrade, support, uninstall, and package-related functionality. These services are separate from the analytics reports stored in WordPress.
