Metrics Flow Inc.

$71,552.00

Cookieless Analytics for Web Applications

FY 2022-23 · 2023-02-13

Summary
The technological objective of our project is to develop an algorithm capable of tracking and analyzing user behaviour on websites, and delivering dashboard analytics and reports on website usage without resorting to cookies, thereby perpetually complying with data privacy laws and regulations. In contrast, Google Analytics, the current market leader in the web traffic attribution space, is fundamentally centered around the use of cookies. Metricsflow’s approach is a potentially disruptive technological discontinuity.

Description
The technological objective of our project is to develop an algorithm capable of tracking and analyzing user behaviour on websites, and delivering dashboard analytics and reports on website usage without resorting to cookies, thereby perpetually complying with data privacy laws and regulations. In contrast, Google Analytics, the current market leader in the web traffic attribution space, is fundamentally centered around the use of cookies. Metricsflow’s approach is a potentially disruptive technological discontinuity.
Description (French)
L’objectif technologique de notre projet est de développer un algorithme capable de suivre et d’analyser le comportement des utilisateurs sur les sites Web, et de fournir des tableaux de bord analytiques et des rapports sur l’utilisation des sites Web sans recourir aux témoins, respectant ainsi perpétuellement les lois et règlements sur la confidentialité des données. En revanche, Google Analytics, le leader actuel du marché de l’attribution du trafic Web, est fondamentalement centré sur l’utilisation de témoins. L’approche de Metricsflow est une rupture technologique potentiellement perturbatrice.
