How to add analytics to Angular (no cookies)

Before you start

Create a free Cool Analytics account and add your site. You'll get a site ID — replace YOUR_SITE_ID in the code below with it. The dashboard shows the snippet with your ID already filled in.

Install on Angular

1Open src/index.html.
2Paste the snippet inside <head>.
3Run ng build and deploy. Router navigations are counted as pageviews.

src/index.html

<script defer src="https://coolanalytics.dev/hb.js" data-site="YOUR_SITE_ID"></script>

Check that it works

Open your live site in a new tab, then open your Cool Analytics dashboard. Your visit appears on the live map within seconds — with the page you're on, where you came from and your browser.

Nothing showing up? Make sure you're looking at the published site (not a preview or editor), that an ad blocker isn't blocking the script, and that you're not testing on localhost.

Track signups, purchases and clicks

Pageviews, sources, countries and outbound link clicks are tracked automatically. For the moments that matter to you, send a custom event. Events named like a signup show up as signups, and events with an amount show up as revenue — on the live map and per traffic source.

custom events

// anywhere in your Angular site's browser code
window.hb?.track("signup");

// with an amount, it shows up as revenue
window.hb?.track("purchase", { amount: 49 });

Angular tips

Client-side route changes are tracked automatically — the script listens to the browser history, so there's no router hook to wire up.
If you use the HashLocationStrategy, switch to the default PathLocationStrategy so each page has its own path in your reports.
Visits from localhost are ignored so your own development doesn't count. To test locally, add data-dev="1" to the script tag for a moment — then remove it.

Want to keep your own visits out of the stats? Open your site once with #hb-ignore at the end of the URL. That browser is excluded until you visit with #hb-track.

Angular analytics FAQ

How do I call track() from TypeScript?+

Declare it once: declare global { interface Window { hb?: { track(name: string, props?: object): void } } }. Then call window.hb?.track('signup').

Does it work with Angular SSR?+

Yes. The tag is part of index.html, which SSR uses as its template.

Do I need to add it to angular.json scripts?+

No — that would bundle it. Keep it as an external tag in index.html.
