No Cookie Analytics – By Arfa

<p>No Cookie Analytics – By Arfa tracks visits server-side without setting cookies in visitors&#8217;<br />
browsers. Data stays in your WordPress database with an admin dashboard, reports, and optional<br />
CSV export.</p>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>This plugin stores analytics records in your WordPress database (<code>wp_ncaba_hits</code>), including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Page URL/path</li>
<li>Referrer host</li>
<li>Browser/OS/device type</li>
<li>Anonymized IP hash</li>
<li>Session key</li>
<li>Country code</li>
<li>Whether the request resulted in a 404 (not found)</li>
<li>UTM campaign parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign), when present in the visited URL</li>
<li>Timestamp</li>
</ul>
<p>No raw IP address is stored in the plugin database.</p>
<p>Country detection behavior:</p>
<ol>
<li>Uses server-provided geolocation headers when available (for example Cloudflare or GeoIP<br />
headers).</li>
<li>Optional external IP geolocation lookup can be enabled by admin consent in plugin settings.</li>
</ol>
<p>When external geolocation is enabled, visitor IP is sent to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Service: <a href="https://ipapi.co/" rel="nofollow ugc">ipapi.co</a> (primary) and <a href="https://ipwho.is/" rel="nofollow ugc">ipwho.is</a> (fallback)</li>
<li>Purpose: country lookup only</li>
</ul>
<p>Site owners must disclose this in their privacy policy before enabling external lookup.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin can optionally use the third-party services ipapi.co and ipwho.is for country lookup. The lookup<br />
is <strong>disabled by default</strong> and only runs after a site administrator explicitly enables the<br />
&#8220;Allow External Geo Lookup&#8221; option in plugin settings.</p>
<ul>
<li>Services: ipapi.co (https://ipapi.co/) and ipwho.is (https://ipwho.is/) as fallback</li>
<li>What is sent: the visitor&#8217;s IP address (only when the option is enabled and no server-provided<br />
geo headers are available).</li>
<li>When: at most once per visitor IP per week on success; failed lookups are retried after one hour.</li>
<li>Why: to determine the visitor&#8217;s country code for the analytics dashboard.</li>
<li>ipapi.co Terms of Service: https://ipapi.co/terms/</li>
<li>ipapi.co Privacy Policy: https://ipapi.co/privacy/</li>
<li>ipwho.is Terms: https://ipwhois.io/terms</li>
<li>ipwho.is Privacy: https://ipwhois.io/privacy</li>
</ul>
<p>If the option is left disabled, the plugin never contacts ipapi.co or ipwho.is.</p>
