Questions, answered plainly
Privacy-first analytics
FAQ.
Setup, privacy, measurement, data, and operations. If the answer depends on your configuration, this page says so.
Can Deeplitic replace my existing analytics?
It can, but it does not have to. Many teams start by using Deeplitic beside an existing analytics tool so they can compare a privacy-first baseline with a consent-dependent report before deciding what becomes their default.
How long does setup take?
The first step is a small site script or a first-party proxy. Start with one property, verify the events you care about, compare the first report with your existing view, and then expand the data into the workflow your team already uses.
Do I need a developer to install Deeplitic?
A developer is helpful for a custom proxy or event plan, but a basic pageview setup is intentionally small. The important part is agreeing on the collection contract before adding optional events.
Can I start with one website?
Yes. A single-property pilot is the best way to validate the measurement plan, event names, reporting questions, and privacy review before you apply the setup across a larger portfolio.
Does Deeplitic support a first-party proxy?
The product is designed to support a small script or a first-party proxy for teams that want more control over delivery. Choose the approach that matches your hosting, security headers, and operational capacity.
Does Deeplitic use cookies?
Deeplitic is designed to measure aggregated traffic without cookies or long-lived visitor identifiers. Always review the current configuration and your organization’s own privacy requirements before production launch.
Does Deeplitic build visitor profiles?
No. The product is built around traffic and event aggregates rather than persistent visitor profiles, cross-device journeys, or a personal history.
Does Deeplitic store IP addresses?
The privacy-first design avoids keeping raw IP address histories as part of the analytics model. Network data may still be processed transiently for delivery and security, so consult your deployment and processing documentation for the exact configuration.
Does it need an analytics consent banner?
Deeplitic is designed around a collection model without cookies or visitor identifiers, but consent requirements depend on jurisdiction, purpose, configuration, and your organization’s legal assessment. Product design is not a blanket legal conclusion.
Is Deeplitic GDPR compliant?
No analytics vendor can make compliance automatic for every organization and use case. Deeplitic is designed to reduce the data surface and make the collection contract clearer; your team still needs to review its configuration, notices, processors, retention, and legal obligations.
Can I use Deeplitic for a sensitive website?
Use a documented allowlist of paths, events, and properties, and keep sensitive values out of URLs and event payloads. For regulated or high-risk projects, complete a privacy and security review before sending production traffic.
What does privacy-first mean here?
It means the system starts with the minimum useful signal: pages, sources, campaigns, trends, and selected events. It avoids adding identity just because identity can make a report more detailed.
What can I measure?
You can measure pageviews, referrer groups, campaign parameters, device classes, country-level location, and business events that you deliberately define. The exact dimensions depend on your plan and implementation.
Can I track custom events?
Yes. Keep the event vocabulary small, stable, and tied to a decision. Document the trigger, properties, owner, retention, and downstream use before adding it to the site.
Can I measure campaign traffic?
Yes. Use consistent campaign parameters, keep personal or sensitive values out of URLs, and review the attribution model before interpreting the report. Aggregated campaign reporting usually answers the practical marketing question without a person-level journey.
Why do numbers differ from Google Analytics?
Different tools can count different things and apply different filters, timezones, bot rules, consent boundaries, and event definitions. Compare the same page, date range, and question before deciding that a gap is an error.
Can I compare Deeplitic with another analytics tool?
Yes. Use a comparison contract: write down what each system counts, align the date range and filters, inspect the implementation path, and look for stable patterns rather than one surprising day.
Does Deeplitic show live traffic?
The dashboard is designed for fast updates rather than a visitor-by-visitor live feed. The goal is a useful current baseline that remains aggregated and explainable.
Can I export the data?
Yes. The product is designed around portable data: use the Stats API for summaries, the Export API for records, or move a snapshot through CSV and JSON.
Where is the data hosted?
Deeplitic is built for EU-hosted infrastructure. Confirm the active region, processors, retention, and contract terms that apply to your organization before production launch.
How long is data retained?
Retention should be chosen for the reporting decisions you actually need and reviewed regularly. Use the current product configuration and your organization’s retention policy as the source of truth.
Can I send data to my warehouse?
The Stats and Export APIs are intended to make aggregated reporting portable. A warehouse integration should preserve the event definitions and collection boundary alongside the rows.
Does Deeplitic slow down my website?
The collection request is designed to stay small and asynchronous so it does not block the page. Validate the script, proxy, security headers, and failure behavior in your own production setup.
What happens if the analytics endpoint is unavailable?
Analytics should fail quietly and never prevent a visitor from using the site. The ingestion architecture separates collection from reporting so operators can monitor retries and lag without making the browser wait for a database write.
Can agencies manage multiple sites?
The content and API model are designed for separate properties and portable reporting. Confirm the current workspace, permissions, and account limits for your agency setup before rollout.
Do you provide an API?
Yes. Deeplitic is designed with Stats and Export APIs so teams can read summaries, move records, and connect analytics to the tools they already use.
