Simple Analytics – European analytics
Dutch privacy-first analytics with no cookies, no fingerprinting and no IP logging. Data stays on Dutch servers. Used by 30,000+ websites including government organisations.
Quick facts
No cookies, no fingerprinting and no IP logging means visitors never see a consent banner, and the dashboard stays legible without a Google Analytics-style wall of metrics.
There's no free tier, and the reporting is intentionally simple, so anyone wanting deep segmentation or custom funnels will find it limited.
Why does it score 100?
Incorporated in Amsterdam, Netherlands – a full EU member state.
Bootstrapped and independently run by a two-person team, with no outside investors.
Simple Analytics runs its own servers in the Netherlands rather than renting capacity from a bigger cloud provider.
Partially open source and GDPR-compliant, and the company publishes its own metrics publicly as an open startup.
