FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does PubPulse need a cookie banner?

The PubPulse script sets no cookies and stores no IP addresses. A visitor is recognised for one day only, through a hash that is reset every day. Check with your legal adviser for your own site, but for most publishers the tracker itself needs no consent.

Does PubPulse do data sampling?

No. Every pageview and event is stored and every report is calculated on all of it, whatever your volume.

Does PubPulse exclude spam traffic and bots?

Yes. Known crawlers, monitoring tools and automated browsers are filtered out before anything is stored, and you can restrict which hostnames may send data to each site.

How can I pay for the subscription?

The 30-day trial needs no card. When you are ready, choose a plan in Account → Plan Management and pay by card (Visa, Mastercard, RuPay, international cards). Plans are in euro and renew automatically every month or year; you can cancel at any time.

What happens if I exceed the pageviews of my plan?

Data collection keeps running, so you never lose a visit. Reports are paused until you move to a larger plan or the next month starts.

What happens if I cancel or do not pay?

Your reports are paused, but your data is kept and data collection keeps running. Activate a plan again and everything is back, including the period in between.

How can I upgrade my subscription?

Open Account → Plan Management → Upgrade Plan, move the slider to your pageviews and pay by card. A larger plan starts immediately; a smaller one starts at your next renewal.

What are the metrics and their definitions?

Users are unique visitors per day; a session ends after 30 minutes without activity; bounce rate is the share of sessions with one pageview; session duration and time on page are measured from real engagement, including the time on the last page.
