Our app is a widget based, for the client-side used mostly JavaScript. For the evaluation purpose information about user behaviour should be gathered. Is it possible to gather information about user click events without accessing server side code?

  • How would you collect the data if you don't send it to the server? Or are you talking only about collecting the information and not transmitting it back? – Rob Jan 20 '15 at 12:51
  • yes exactly, only collecting data and not saving it on the server. Google analytics I read can do it, but we look for the alternative solution – Sunkat Jan 20 '15 at 13:06

Your tag has the answer. You can use Google Analytics for tracking client side events.

Have a look at: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/eventTrackerGuide

  • thanks, but we look for the alternative solution as google analytics is not the best way in Germany – Sunkat Jan 20 '15 at 12:54
  • For data rentention laws? Next option is hosting a ready made analytics yourself. But that of course takes resources. Try to reach out to google if they can provide an EU based analytics. I know they can for docs and Gmail for business. – Michael Sørensen Jan 20 '15 at 17:07

If I remember correctly, you can't create "funnels" on analitycs, so maybe a tool as mixpanel fits better (https://mixpanel.com/).
