Question m18 mid recommend decision

Which link in bio tools respect privacy and don't track visitors?

On 29 October 2026, ChatGPT recommended six brands, with Carrd as its top pick; Claude recommended eight brands, starting with Spookie; Gemini recommended three brands, starting with Carrd; Perplexity recommended three brands, starting with Melioo. No brand was recommended by all four.

Asked once of each AI on 29 October 2026, with its own web search on and no location sent. Answers are shown verbatim. How we read them: one grand master model marked each brand, and a brand counts only if its name is in the answer word for word. The method.

If you mean no visitor profiling or advertising trackers, these are worth considering:

  • Carrd — A flexible option for a simple bio page. Carrd says sites have no analytics or tracking by default; keep it that way by not adding analytics, pixels, or third-party embeds. (carrd.com)
  • static.bio — A minimalist option that describes its pages as static, with no tracking cookies or third-party analytics. (static.bio)
  • Link.bio — Its privacy policy says open and click tracking are off and it uses no advertising or analytics cookies. Note that embedded media can still pass data to its provider if a visitor plays it. (link.bio)

Some newer services—Melioo, OwnBio, and Spookie—also advertise cookieless or “zero tracking” analytics. Those are claims made by the services themselves, so I’d check their privacy policies and test the published page before relying on them. (melioo.com)

My simplest pick: Carrd with analytics and embeds left off, or static.bio if its minimalist format suits you. No hosted page can promise that nothing is logged anywhere: the provider may keep necessary server/security logs, and sites you link out to have their own tracking. Also, “cookieless analytics” isn’t the same as “no tracking”—it may still count visits or clicks in aggregate.

Several link-in-bio tools market themselves on privacy. Most claims come from the vendors' own sites, so check them before relying on them.

Tools that advertise no tracking

  • Spookie says it doesn't track visitors with cookies or sell data to advertisers, and it offers simple analytics for clicks and views. We don't track your visitors with cookies or sell data to advertisers.
  • BareLink states that it uses no signup, trackers, or cookies, and you can edit later with your private token.
  • Biotrk offers self-hosted analytics and says it tracks clicks without cookies or invasive tracking.
  • ForgeBio.io is a European tool that says it has zero trackers, no tracking cookies and hosts data in the EU. Its FAQ also answers "Do you track my visitors?" with "No."
  • YourSitee is a European platform that lists "No Tracking" and "Ad-free" among its features.
  • Wonderlink calls itself privacy-first and says it does not track users, ensuring full compliance with EU privacy regulations.
  • Pxl is built and hosted in Europe, ensuring strong privacy protection, and it includes link analytics.

Non-bio-link option

  • Carrd is a one-page site builder that can serve as a bio link. One 2026 guide says it doesn't track user behavior, though the same source notes that creators give up analytics insights to get that.

Caveats

  • Tools with built-in analytics still record some click counts. "No tracking" usually means no cookies, no third-party pixels, and no ad profiling, not zero data collection. Read the policy to see which one applies.
  • Linktree is often described as privacy-friendly, but it is a large, mainstream platform with more data collection than the smaller tools above. I didn't find a clear, independent privacy assessment of it.
  • Privacy claims from newer or smaller tools are harder to verify. Check whether they let you export your data anytime, which makes switching tools easier.

How to vet a tool: Check whether it uses cookies or third-party scripts, whether it has a clear policy on selling data and how long it keeps analytics, and whether it complies with GDPR or CCPA. A useful test is to open your own page in a browser with a tracker blocker and see what loads.

Gemini

Finding a "link-in-bio" tool that completely avoids tracking is difficult because the primary purpose of these services is often to provide analytics (such as click-through rates and traffic sources) to the creator. Most mainstream platforms rely on tracking pixels, cookies, or redirect-based logging to provide this data.

However, if privacy is your priority, here is how you can approach the problem and which options to look for:

1. The "Privacy-First" Option: Use Your Own Website

The only way to ensure 100% control over visitor privacy is to host your own "link-in-bio" page on your personal website or domain.

  • Why it works: You control the server, the code, and the data. You can build a simple HTML page with your links and ensure no third-party scripts, tracking pixels, or cookies are loaded.
  • Tools to use: Platforms like Carrd allow you to build simple, one-page websites. While Carrd has its own policies, using a custom domain and avoiding embedded third-party analytics (like Google Analytics or Facebook Pixels) gives you significant control over the privacy of your visitors.
2. Privacy-Focused Platforms

Some services specifically market themselves or are built with a more privacy-conscious architecture.

  • ace.me: This tool is explicitly marketed as "privacy-friendly," stating that it includes no ads and no trackers.
  • Inflowave Links: While this tool provides analytics, it emphasizes "GDPR-focused design" and compliance. If you require analytics but want to ensure the tool handles data with a higher standard of compliance, this is a strong candidate.
3. Understanding the Trade-offs

When searching for a privacy-friendly tool, be aware of what makes most of them "not private":

  • Redirects: Many tools count clicks by routing the user through their own server before sending them to the final destination. This technically allows them to log the visitor's IP address, device type, and referral source.
  • Third-Party Pixels: Tools that allow you to add "pixels" (like Facebook, TikTok, or Google Ads pixels) are inherently tracking your visitors. Avoid these features if you want to protect your visitors' privacy.
  • Analytics: If a tool advertises "advanced analytics," it is almost certainly tracking your visitors in some capacity. If you want true privacy, look for tools that either offer no analytics or allow you to turn off tracking/data collection entirely.
Summary Checklist for Privacy

If you choose a third-party service rather than hosting your own, check their privacy policy for these red flags:

  • Does it share data with third parties? (Avoid services that sell or share data for advertising).
  • Can you opt out of analytics?
  • Does it use cookies for non-essential purposes?

Recommendation: If your primary concern is the privacy of your followers, the most reliable method is to build a simple page on your own website/domain. This removes the middleman and ensures that you are not inadvertently exposing your audience to third-party tracking scripts.

Perplexity

If you mean no visitor tracking at all, the clearest candidates from the sources I found are:

  • Melioo says public pages have no third-party scripts or tracking cookies, and that its anonymous analytics store no IP address, user agent, cookie, or fingerprint. That still means it counts views and clicks, so it’s not “no measurement”—it’s measurement designed not to identify visitors. 1
  • Spookie says it has no tracking pixels, cookies, or behavioral profiling and shows basic views and click counts. These are the service’s own claims, so verify its current privacy policy and page behavior before relying on them. 2

lnk.boo is a privacy-conscious option, but it uses Plausible Analytics to measure page views and outbound clicks. Its policy says this is cookie-free and doesn’t track individual users; choose it if anonymous analytics are acceptable, rather than if you want no analytics at all. 3

I’d avoid Linktree if minimizing tracking is the priority: its privacy notice says it collects information such as IP address, device details, location, and interactions with profiles and links, and its cookie notice describes analytics and other tracking technologies. 45

These are based on the providers’ published claims, not an independent audit. For the strongest assurance, test the public page in a fresh browser session and check what requests it makes; also avoid adding your own pixels or analytics scripts. 6
