Privacy & compliance
Cookieless Tracking
Cookieless tracking is the default mode since a March 2022 privacy update — tracking is 100% cookie-free by default; no cookies are set unless the site operator explicitly enables them.
Cookieless tracking is a fully supported optional mode; can be enabled per site via Administration settings.
Consent Banner Required
No cookie consent banner required when using default cookieless mode. Clicky is 'privacy-friendly out of the box.'
Default configuration uses cookies and requires consent. With cookieless/anonymous mode enabled, no consent banner is needed — but that requires explicit configuration.
GDPR Compliant
Clicky explicitly states GDPR compliance with anonymized-by-default tracking.
Yes
EU Data Residency
Clicky data is stored in the United States (Roxr, Portland OR). EU visitors' data is routed to a London VPS for performance but ultimately stored on US infrastructure.

The verdict
Clicky Best for low-cost, real-time analytics on small sites
Clicky starts at $9.99/mo versus Piwik PRO's $40.38, and adds a perpetual free tier (1 site, ~90k views/mo) where Piwik PRO offers only a 30-day trial. Its 5.1 KB script is far lighter than Piwik PRO's 26.6 KB, and it keeps daily data 48 months vs 25. Cookieless is the default, so no consent banner is needed out of the box.
Full profile Piwik PRO Best for EU data residency and higher entry volume
Piwik PRO hosts Business data on EU servers (Sweden); Clicky stores in the US with no EU residency. Its entry plan meters 2M actions across 20 domains versus Clicky's ~900k views over 10 sites, and it ships an official WordPress plugin plus public dashboard sharing, both of which Clicky lacks. The trade-off is a higher $40.38 start and a heavier script.
