Privacy-compliant cookieless analytics

[midenotch]

Close: #26

What was implemented
Provider: Plausible Analytics
Chosen over Umami because it's managed cloud (zero infra to maintain), EU-hosted, open-source, and under 1 KB gzipped — well within the 2 KB budget.

Files changed / created
index.html Added script.scroll.tagged-events.js — the combined Plausible extension that handles both scroll depth (automatic, no code) and custom JS events. A tiny queue shim ensures events fired before script load are not dropped. No integrity attribute is included because Plausible ships frequent minor updates and does not publish SRI hashes for their CDN build (documented in CONTRIBUTING).

analytics.ts
(new) Typed trackEvent() wrapper around window.plausible(). The rest of the codebase never touches window.plausible directly — easy to swap provider later.

Privacy.tsx
(new) Full privacy page at /privacy. Explains what Plausible collects, what it doesn't, why we chose it, and the no-cookie/no-banner guarantee. Links to Plausible's own data policy for the full legal basis.

App.tsx
Wrapped in BrowserRouter with routes for / (home) and /privacy.

Hero.tsx

"Read the Docs" → fires Read the Docs goal
"Try the Demo" → fires Try the Demo goal
Code tab clicks → fires Code Tab Change with { tab: 'send.ts' } prop
CtaStrip.tsx

"Get API Key" → fires Get API Key goal
"Read the Docs" → fires Read the Docs goal
Footer.tsx
Privacy link updated from to (internal SPA route, no full page reload).

CONTRIBUTING.md
(new) Documents the full analytics setup: why Plausible, how the script loads, every goal and where it fires, how to add new goals, the no-banner rationale, and the privacy page location.

Acceptance criteria status
Criterion Status
Provider integrated ✅ Plausible script in index.html

PR explains privacy-acceptability ✅
CONTRIBUTING.md

No cookies = no banner needed ✅ Verified; documented on Privacy page

Heads up: I retargeted this from main to develop. For wave 6 all PRs land on develop first (we freeze on develop before merging to main). No action needed from you, just a heads-up. If you rebase in the future, base on origin/develop, not origin/main.

Alright, Noted.
kindly merge

Privacy.tsx + cookieless analytics implementation look solid. A few things to clean up before merge:

1. .kiro/specs/cookieless-analytics/.config.kiro — looks like an IDE/agent local config. Should not be committed.
2. .vscode/settings.json — local editor settings. Should not be in the repo.
3. tsconfig.tsbuildinfo — TypeScript build artifact. Should not be committed.
4. docs/CONTRIBUTING.md (+115 lines) — this is out of scope for cookieless analytics. If there's a real CONTRIBUTING update needed, open a separate PR for it.

git rm .kiro/specs/cookieless-analytics/.config.kiro .vscode/settings.json tsconfig.tsbuildinfo docs/CONTRIBUTING.md
git commit --amend --no-edit
git push --force-with-lease

Then I will merge.

@midenotch — heads up, the cleanup I asked for last time hasn't happened yet. The PR still contains:

• .kiro/specs/cookieless-analytics/.config.kiro
• .vscode/settings.json
• tsconfig.tsbuildinfo
• docs/CONTRIBUTING.md (115 lines, off-scope)

Plus now there are real conflicts in src/App.tsx, src/components/Hero.tsx, and pnpm-lock.yaml from other www PRs landing.

git fetch origin
git rebase origin/develop
git rm .kiro/specs/cookieless-analytics/.config.kiro .vscode/settings.json tsconfig.tsbuildinfo docs/CONTRIBUTING.md
echo "tsconfig.tsbuildinfo" >> .gitignore
git add .gitignore
git rebase --continue
git push --force-with-lease

The Privacy.tsx + analytics.ts work is good and worth landing — just need to clean these out.

Dev artifacts gone, rebase clean. Privacy.tsx + analytics.ts + cookieless setup + Hero/CtaStrip/Footer integration all land cleanly.

Note: I'm letting the docs/CONTRIBUTING.md addition through since it documents the analytics opt-out flow, which is reasonable for the feature. Try to keep those changes separate from feature work in future PRs.

Thanks @midenotch.
