Introduction

Content Statistics extensions

**Cookieless, GDPR-friendly web analytics for Joomla – all data stays on your own server.
**
MW SiteStats is a privacy-friendly analytics extension for Joomla 5 and 6. It measures your website's audience entirely without cookies and stores all data in your own Joomla database – with no data transfer to third parties. In the default configuration nothing is stored on visitors' devices (the optional "new/returning" feature uses localStorage and is off by default).


IP addresses are truncated and stored only as a daily-rotating hash, so individual visitors cannot be traced. Do-Not-Track is respected, logged-in editors and user groups can be excluded, visitors have an opt-out option, and retention is freely configurable with automatic deletion.

The package consists of a back-end component (dashboard and reports) and a system plugin for measurement. It installs in a single step and supports automatic updates.

**Free features:

CSV export and targeted data deletion

Requirements: Joomla 5.x or 6.x, PHP 8.1+, MySQL/MariaDB.

Note: Even anonymised audience measurement should be mentioned in your privacy policy. Whether consent is required depends on your use and jurisdiction – in the cookieless default mode (with no storage on visitors' devices), running without consent is defensible in many cases. This is not legal advice.
