Overview

whos.amung.us is a real-time visitor counter service that displays a live widget showing how many people are currently viewing a page. It is used primarily by small sites and blogs to show concurrent visitor counts.

What This Script Does

  • Sets a session cookie to identify unique concurrent visitors
  • Sends a ping to whos.amung.us servers on each page load
  • Renders a visible counter widget on the page displaying the current visitor count
  • Does not collect personally identifiable information or build persistent user profiles

Consent & Compliance

  • Category: Analytics
  • GDPR: Requires consent as it sets cookies and transmits visitor data to a third-party server, even though the data is limited
  • CCPA: Minimal personal data collection, but disclosure is recommended
  • ePrivacy: Cookie consent required under the ePrivacy Directive

Should You Block This Without Consent?

Yes. This is a non-essential analytics widget. The site functions without it, and it sets cookies that require consent under ePrivacy rules.

Is whos.amung.us GDPR compliant?

whos.amung.us typically loads marketing and analytics trackers, which are not strictly necessary for your site to work. Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, non-essential cookies and trackers must stay blocked until a visitor gives clear opt-in consent. So whos.amung.us can be fully GDPR compliant, but only if your site holds its scripts until consent is granted and lets visitors decline just as easily. Compliance depends on how your site loads whos.amung.us, not on whos.amung.us itself.
