Sift Documentation
Install Sift, understand how visitors are counted, and configure tracking.
Sift is cookieless web analytics. One line of HTML, no consent banner, and no personal data stored.
The tracking script is under 1 KB gzipped and never blocks the page. Visitors are counted with a daily-rotating hash, so nobody can be followed from one day to the next.
Start here
Install Sift
Add the script to your site and confirm the first pageview arrives.
How visitors are counted
What makes a visitor unique, and why the count resets every day.
API reference
Create sites and read stats from your own code or an AI agent.
What Sift does not do
- No cookies, no
localStorageidentifiers, no cross-site tracking. - No raw IP addresses stored.
- No custom events, goals, or funnels in the current release.
- No billing yet. Everything is free during beta.
