Teen Developer Builds Cookieless Scroll Tracking Tool for Privacy-First Analytics

Eighteen-year-old applied AI developer Om Yaduvanshi has built Cloudline, a cookieless alternative to Google Analytics that tracks scroll depth without storing cookies or IP addresses. The tool works by attaching scroll depth data directly to each anonymous pageview rather than linking events through a session cookie. It reports how far visitors scroll in four buckets — 25, 50, 75, and 100% — sending only a bucket number alongside page, referrer, screen size, and timestamp. Because scroll depth is treated as a property of the pageview itself, no visitor-level data needs to be stored or stitched together. Cloudline is currently free for early users and can be added to any site with a single script tag under 2 KB.
