What it is

Use Umami to collect and analyze your website's data without sharing it with any third-party service.

Real use case example

"A founder launching a new e-commerce website uses Umami to track their users' browsing behavior and create a custom analytics dashboard to identify trends and areas for improvement. They set up custom events to track user interactions, create cohorts to analyze recurring user behavior, and generate charts to visualize the data. As a result, they make data-driven decisions to optimize their website and increase sales."
