Privacy-first analytics for EU businesses

For a lot of EU businesses, GDPR isn't a checkbox, it's a genuine constraint on what tools you're willing to put on the website. Orbit doesn't use cookies and doesn't collect the kind of personal data that triggers a consent requirement in the first place, so there's no banner to build, no consent-management platform to configure, and no legal review to schedule.

What makes analytics hard for eu privacy-conscious businesses

Where Orbit fits

Frequently asked questions

Is Orbit actually GDPR-compliant, or does it just avoid the cookie banner?

Orbit avoids the cookie banner because it doesn't collect the personal data that requires consent in the first place — no cookies, no cross-site identifiers, no fingerprinting. That's a stronger privacy position than a tool that just hides its cookie prompt.

Where is Orbit's data hosted, and can we self-host it ourselves?

Orbit is a hosted service built on the open-source Umami project; it doesn't offer self-hosting, so your data lives on Orbit's infrastructure rather than a server your organization controls.

Do we still need a consent management platform (CMP) alongside Orbit?

Not for Orbit's own tracking — since it collects no cookies or personal identifiers, there's nothing for a CMP to manage. You'd only need one if other tools on your site, like ad pixels or chat widgets, require it.

Can we control which employees inside the organization see analytics data?

Yes — owner, manager, and view-only roles let you restrict who can edit sites versus who can only view the dashboard, useful for compliance or leadership oversight.
