Open any Dekimu app in a private window. Check the cookies panel. You'll find an auth cookie — that's it. No Google Analytics. No Meta Pixel. No Segment. No heatmap. Nothing that follows you around.
This is not a temporary oversight. It's a deliberate constraint. We decided before shipping the first app that Dekimu would not run behavioral tracking on any of its surfaces — marketing site, product, or dashboard.
We don't know which landing page variant converts better. We can't tell you the exact funnel drop-off. We don't have session replays. Most growth teams would call this flying blind. We call it the trade we chose.
The real cost of tracking isn't the cookie banner. It's the slow erosion of trust. Once a freelancer signs up to a tool that promises to handle their money, they shouldn't have to also worry about what that tool is telling Meta about their spending habits.
Server logs tell us which routes get hit. Stripe tells us who paid. The database tells us who came back. Every signal we need for product decisions is already in data we legitimately own. We don't need a fourth-party data broker to tell us that.
If the only way to know whether your product works is to surveil the people using it, the product probably doesn't work.
Whenever we're tempted to add a tracking script, the test is: would we be comfortable telling the user, in plain English, exactly what this script does with their data? If the answer requires a privacy policy paragraph, the script doesn't ship.
So far, nothing has passed. We don't expect anything to.
