Overview
Clicky is a real-time web analytics platform that provides individual visitor-level tracking. It records page views, actions, goals, and session-level data including referrers and screen resolutions.
What This Script Does
The Clicky tracking script fires on each page load and records the page URL, referrer, screen resolution, browser/OS information, and visitor IP address. It sets persistent cookies to identify returning visitors and track sessions over time. Unlike aggregated analytics tools, Clicky provides individual visitor timelines showing exact pages visited and actions taken. Goal tracking and custom event logging can also be configured.
