Adamant Analytics
Visitor tracking that works with JavaScript and cookies switched off, using Server Side Includes.
- Analytics
- Privacy
- SSI
Some visitors block scripts. Some pages cannot run them. Adamant moved pageview tracking to the server, using Server Side Includes, so it needed no JavaScript and set no cookies.
It works with Apache HTTP Server, Apache Tomcat, NGINX, and Microsoft IIS.

Why it is archived
Adamant was written for the classic Google Analytics collection endpoint, which Google has since retired. The code stays public as a reference for server side tracking.
