PrivateStater is a privacy-friendly SaaS that combines three things you usually need three separate services for:
- Analytics — page views, sessions, and click tracking, without cookies.
- Captcha — protect WordPress comments, login/registration, and Contact Form 7 forms with a no-image puzzle + proof-of-work challenge.
- Feedback widget — a floating button that lets visitors send text feedback, ratings, or screenshots.
Once activated, paste your website name and PrivateStater loads on every public-facing page. The Captcha integrations stay off until you turn them on.
Why PrivateStater?
- No cookies. No cross-site tracking. No data sold to third parties.
- One small script for all three features.
- I run PrivateStater myself — questions go directly to a real person, not a ticket queue.
External services
