How to add analytics to Vue (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 Vue

1Open index.html in the root of your Vue project.
2Paste the snippet inside <head>, above the module script.
3Build and deploy. Vue Router navigation in history mode is tracked automatically.

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 Vue site's browser code
window.hb?.track("signup");

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

Vue tips

Client-side route changes are tracked automatically — the script listens to the browser history, so there's no router hook to wire up.
Use createWebHistory() in Vue Router for clean page paths. With createWebHashHistory() every page looks like the same path.
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.

Vue analytics FAQ

How do I send a custom event from a Vue component?+

Call window.hb?.track('newsletter') inside a method or an @click handler. You can add properties: window.hb?.track('purchase', { amount: 49 }).

Does it work with Vue 2?+

Yes. The tracker doesn't depend on Vue at all — put it in public/index.html for Vue CLI projects.

Do I need a Vue plugin?+

No. One script tag in the HTML is all it takes.
