SimpleAnalytics integration

May 23, 2025

Hey folks! We've just added support for SimpleAnalytics, a privacy-first analytics platform that respects your visitors.

SimpleAnalytics gives you valuable insights about your newsletter's web traffic without using cookies or collecting personal data. It's fully GDPR compliant and provides clean, actionable data about:

  • Which of your newsletter issues get the most views
  • Where your visitors are coming from
  • What devices and browsers they're using
  • Geographic distribution of your audience (country-level only)

To enable SimpleAnalytics for your newsletter, just head to your Integrations settings and toggle it on. That's it—no website IDs or API keys needed!

This joins our existing analytics integrations like Plausible, Umami, and Fathom, giving you even more privacy-friendly options for understanding your audience while respecting their privacy.
