Visitor stats answer the question every owner has about their website: is it actually bringing in work? Every Nerdsharks site counts visits, which pages people look at, where they came from, such as Google, the map listing or social media, and how many tapped your phone number or sent an enquiry. It is counted by our own first-party system, not an advertising company’s tracker, and it does not set cookies or follow anyone across other websites. That means no cookie banner is needed for it, and nobody’s browsing is being sold on. You get the numbers in plain English, not a dashboard with forty charts to decipher.

## How it works

1. **Counted on your own site** - Page views and key actions are recorded by our own system when the page loads, not handed to a third-party advertising network.
2. **No cookies, no profiles** - Nothing is stored in the visitor’s browser to follow them around, and no personal profile is built. We count visits, not people.
3. **The actions that matter** - Taps on your phone number, enquiries and booking requests are counted alongside visits, so you can see what turns into work.
4. **Explained in plain English** - Ask us any time and we tell you how the site is doing and what we would change, rather than sending you a login to a complicated tool.

## Why it matters

- **See if it is working** - Knowing how many people visited and how many rang you turns "I think the website helps" into something you can actually judge.
- **No cookie banner for stats** - Because the stats do not use cookies, they do not need a consent pop-up. Visitors see your business, not a wall of legal text.
- **Fair to your customers** - Your visitors are not being tracked across the internet or sold to advertisers because they looked at your website.

## Questions

### Can I see how many people visit my website?

Yes, your site counts visits, popular pages, where visitors came from and how many called or sent an enquiry. Ask us any time and we share the numbers in plain English.

### Do website analytics need a cookie banner?

Analytics that set cookies or similar storage usually need consent under UK rules, which is why many sites show a banner. Our stats are cookie-free and do not identify anyone, so they are designed not to need one. We are not lawyers, so take advice if you add other tracking tools.

### Do you use Google Analytics?

No, visitor stats are counted by our own first-party system rather than an advertising company’s tracker. If you specifically want Google Analytics as well, we can discuss it, but it would usually mean adding a cookie banner.

### Are visitor stats included in the price?

Yes, visitor stats are included on every plan, including Monthly at £99 a month. There is no separate analytics subscription.
