Pirsch Analytics – European analytics
German cookie-free analytics hosted entirely on Hetzner in Germany. Built by a two-person team in Rheda-Wiedenbrück, GDPR-compliant out of the box with no extra setup required.
Quick facts
Zero setup required for GDPR compliance – no cookie banner, no consent flow – and the dashboard is built by a two-person team who clearly use their own product, so it stays uncluttered.
There's no free tier, and being a two-person team means feature requests and deeper segmentation tools arrive slower than at bigger analytics platforms.
Why does it score 95?
Incorporated in Rheda-Wiedenbrück, Germany – a full EU member state.
Independently run by a two-person team, with no outside investors or parent company.
Hosted on Hetzner's servers in Germany – solid European cloud infrastructure, though not infrastructure Pirsch owns itself.
Partially open source and GDPR-compliant by default, with no separate consent flow needed.
