It is designed to provide website operators with actionable usage statistics without using cookies, device fingerprinting, or cross-site identifiers. The WordPress integration is a lightweight, client-side integration that prioritizes visitor privacy. Scoby’s goal is to enable analytics in a way that can typically be operated under legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and without consent banners, provided it is used as intended and configured appropriately. Scoby does not provide legal advice; always assess your specific setup with your DPO/legal counsel.
