European Web Analytics Software

European web analytics platforms for tracking website visitors, pageviews, conversions, and user behavior. With Google Analytics ruled illegal in multiple EU countries, European alternatives offer a clear compliance advantage: EU-only data hosting, no cookie requirements (in some cases), and no dependency on transatlantic data transfer frameworks. Compare on: dashboard usability, event tracking depth, e-commerce support, and whether the tool can be configured for cookie-free tracking to skip consent banners entirely. 27 tools listed.

Which web analytics tools host data in the EU?

14 of the 27 web analytics tools listed here host data within the EU: Dreamdata, Glyphex, Mouseflow, Pirsch Analytics, Piwik PRO, Plausible Analytics and 8 more. A further 2 offer an EU region on some plans.

Which web analytics tools are European-owned?

The remainder (Fathom Analytics, Friendly Analytics, Matomo, PostHog, Rybbit, SealMetrics and 4 more) are listed because they are usable under GDPR, but they are not European companies, and we label them that way rather than hiding it.

Do these web analytics tools offer a Data Processing Agreement?

We located a published DPA for 18 of 27: Fathom Analytics, Friendly Analytics, Matomo, Mouseflow, Pirsch Analytics, Plausible Analytics and 12 more. Article 28 GDPR requires one whenever a provider processes personal data on your behalf. The others may still provide one on request. Many do not publish it.
