Visitor tracking

See who is on your website, right now

A live list and a live map of the people browsing your site, with what they are reading, how they got there and everything they did before they started a chat.

The Live Map: visitors by state, with what each one is doing. Illustration with sample data.

Highlights

What you get

See who is on your website right now on a live map: pages viewed, journey, device, referrer and campaign, with proactive chat and privacy controls such as cookie consent, export and erasure.

  • Live map

    Visitors clustered on a map and coloured by state: browsing, chatting or waiting for an answer.

  • Journey

    Every page, custom event and chat of a visit, in order, plus earlier visits.

  • Source and device

    Referrer, UTM campaign, browser, operating system and device type for each visit.

  • Custom events

    Record actions such as “checkout started” with ZebChat.track() and tag visitors with setTag().

  • Proactive chat

    Start a conversation with a visitor who is browsing right now.

  • New-visitor alerts

    Optional browser and mobile notifications when someone arrives on your site.

Context for every chat

Know who you are talking to before you say hello

The visitor panel sits next to every conversation: where they are, which page they are on, how many pages they have seen and the tags your team or your site added.

  • Most-viewed pages right now, with visitor counts
  • Approximate country and city, when our network provider supplies them
  • Verified customers marked as such when you use identity verification
  • Single-page apps tracked automatically on every route change

Privacy built in

Useful insight without hoarding data

You decide how long data is kept and can answer access and deletion requests in a few clicks.

  • Cookie-consent mode: no storage or tracking until the visitor agrees
  • Export or erase a visitor’s data for GDPR requests
  • Retention settings for ended conversations: from 30 days to 7 years, or unlimited
  • Tracking data older than 180 days is removed automatically

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does visitor tracking use cookies?

The widget does not set cookies. It keeps a random visitor key in the browser’s local storage so returning visitors keep their chat. In cookie-consent mode nothing is stored until your consent banner allows it.

How is the visitor’s location found?

From the approximate country, region and city that our network provider (Cloudflare) adds to requests, when it supplies them. ZebChat does not buy data from IP geolocation services.

Can I delete a visitor’s data?

Yes. Admins can export or erase a visitor’s data, including their conversations, from the visitor profile.
