# Link analytics > Track every click on your short links: country, device, referrer, UTM campaign, QR scans. Cross the criteria, export to CSV. No cookies, hosted in the EU. - Web page: - Breadcrumb: [Klyk](https://getklyk.io/en) › [Features](https://getklyk.io/en/features) › Link analytics - Version française: ## Link analytics you can actually question How many clicks, from where, on which device, from which campaign: every link has its numbers, and the criteria cross with each other. No cookies, and your visitors’ IP addresses are never kept. [Create a free account](https://getklyk.io/en/signup) - Free, no card required - No visitor cookies - Hosted in the EU ## What a click tells you Every click is filed under some fifteen criteria, and each one can filter all the others. ### Where The country and continent, worked out at click time. `France` · `Europe` ### On what The device type, operating system and browser. `Mobile` · `iOS` · `Safari` ### From where The site that sent the visitor, and the channel: a click or a QR scan. `instagram.com` · `QR scan` ### For which campaign The link’s UTM parameters: source, medium and campaign. `newsletter` · `back-to-school` ### In which language The browser’s language, so you know who you are talking to. `English` · `French` ### By which path The A/B variant, the routing rule applied, the domain and the link’s tags. `Variant B` · `go.yourbrand.com` ## Built to answer, not to decorate ### Criteria that cross Filter on France, then look at devices: each view answers the question asked, not an average of everyone. ### Real time The last thirty minutes, refreshed continuously, to watch the clicks of a send-out or a post come in. ### Against the period before Over 7, 28 or 90 days, every figure is set against the previous period, by the hour or by the day. ### Scans apart A QR scan is counted as a scan: you know what the poster brought in, and what the link did. [The dynamic QR code](https://getklyk.io/en/dynamic-qr-code). ### Bots kept out Bots and crawlers are recognised and counted apart. You can show them, but they never enter your totals. ### CSV export Every dimension of the period shown, not just the dashboard’s, in a file that opens anywhere. ## Numbers, not surveillance These analytics do without what most tools collect, and that is on purpose. ### No cookies Someone who follows your link receives no cookie and no ad ID, and nothing is stored on their device. ### No IP address kept The IP address is used once, at click time, to work out a country and a salted fingerprint that counts unique visitors. It is never written to the database. ### Hosted in the EU The data is stored in Germany and never sold, to an ad network or to anyone else. ### Retention, stated Click-by-click detail is kept for 90 days, daily totals for good. The interface tells you when a question reaches past that window. ## Frequently asked ### Do I need a cookie banner to track clicks? Not for the redirect itself: a Klyk link sets no cookie and reads nothing on your visitors’ devices. What we process, and why, is set out in our privacy policy. ### How do you count unique visitors without cookies? With a salted fingerprint, computed at click time from the IP address and the browser. It is used to count unique visitors and set duplicates aside, and the IP address itself is never stored. ### How long are analytics kept? Daily totals are kept for good. The click-by-click detail, the one that lets you cross two criteria, is kept for 90 days, and the interface says so when a question reaches past that window. ### Are QR code scans counted? Yes, and separately: a Klyk QR code marks the visits it produces. You see scans next to clicks, with the same criteria. ### Can I export my analytics? Yes, to CSV, over the period shown. Every dimension is in it, not just the dashboard’s. ### Do bots skew the numbers? No: they are recognised and counted apart. You can show them to see where they come from, but they never enter your totals. ## Keep exploring - [Dynamic QR code](https://getklyk.io/en/dynamic-qr-code): Change where a printed code leads, and count its scans. - [Custom domain](https://getklyk.io/en/custom-domain): Your links on go.yourbrand.com, with HTTPS handled for you. - [Deep links](https://getklyk.io/en/deep-links): Links that open YouTube, Instagram or Spotify in their app, not in a browser. ## Try it on your next link.
