Create a trackable link — see who clicked, without cookies

The QR code holds the short link, not the destination, so you can change where it goes even after it’s printed. For print, use the SVG or PDF and keep the code at least 2 cm (¾ inch) wide — about a tenth of the distance people will scan it from, so 30 cm for a poster read from 3 metres.

How to create a trackable link
- STEP 01
Paste the link
The page you want to share: a product, a form, an article.
- STEP 02
Press Shorten
The short link starts counting straight away. Tag it for a campaign under More options if you use analytics.
- STEP 03
Share it and open the stats
Clicks show up within seconds, by day, country, device and where people came from.
Create a trackable link that respects the people who click
You want to know whether anyone opened the link you shared, and from where. You don’t want to plant cookies on every visitor to find out. A short link can tell you a lot without either.
Clicks by day
See when people opened it, and whether the second post did better than the first.
Country and device
Where your visitors are and whether they use phones or computers, with their operating system and browser.
Where they came from
The site or app that sent them, when it passes that on, and whether they scanned a QR code.
Unique visitors, without cookies
People are told apart by a scrambled value that changes every day. Their IP address is never stored.
How the counting works
- Clicks
- Every time a person opens the link.
- Unique visitors
- Different people on the same day. The same person on two different days counts twice, because the value we tell people apart by changes daily.
- Bots
- Link previews in chat apps, search engines and other automated visits. Counted, but kept apart from people.
Detailed records of each click are kept for 90 days. After that, only daily totals remain, for as long as the link exists.
Things to know
- It can’t tell you who someone is. No names, no email addresses, no exact location. Country comes from the network, not GPS.
- “Came from” is often empty. Many apps, including most messaging apps, don’t say where a visitor came from. Use one short link per place, or UTM tags, to fill the gap.
- Share the stats if you want. Switch on a public stats link to show a client the numbers without giving them your account. Switch it off and the link stops working.
- Take your data with you. Download clicks as a spreadsheet from the stats page.
Questions about trackable links
How do I create a trackable link?
Paste your link above and press Shorten. Every short link counts its clicks; open its stats page to see them.
Is it really without cookies?
Yes. We set no tracking cookie for counting. The only cookie a visitor might get is for an A/B test, and only on links that use one.
Can I see who clicked my link?
Not by name. You see how many people, when, which country and which kind of device. We don’t collect anything that identifies a person.
How long are the stats kept?
Detailed click records for 90 days, then daily totals for as long as the link exists.
Do I need an account to see the stats?
No. Links you make in this browser show their stats here. An account lets you see them from any device.
