Switzerland· Web Analytics
Needs review
Shortlist digistats when you want managed Swiss cookieless analytics with multi-site, events, API, and CSV on every listed tier and you accept SaaS-only operations. Skip when you need self-host/OSS, GA4-depth product analytics, or published ISO 27001/SOC 2—consider Plausible, Simple Analytics, Pirsch, or Matomo instead.
Switzerland· Web Analytics
Needs review
Shortlist fusedeck when you need Swiss-operated cookieless-capable web analytics plus tag management and on-site activation (scoring, modals, A/B, server-side ad exports) in one SaaS. Skip when you only need lightweight pageviews (consider Plausible or Simple Analytics) or must self-host open-source analytics (consider Matomo-class tools).

Cookieless script without stored IPs or fingerprints
Vendor docs describe a sub-1 kB tag that measures traffic without cookies, without retaining visitor IPs (IP used only for live geo lookup), and without fingerprinting—aimed at sites that want analytics without a consent banner for non-essential cookies.
Realtime dashboard with geo, tech, events, and channels
Live visitor and pageview views plus city-level geography, browser/OS/device signals, custom conversion events, referrer/search/social acquisition, landing pages, and continuous site reachability (online status)—enough for content and marketing ops, not a full product-analytics suite.
Ad-blocker-resistant capture (vendor claim)
Marketing materials contrast digistats with Google Analytics being stripped by major blockers and state digistats is not blocked by common ad-block extensions. Useful for traffic completeness debates; treat as first-party claim until you validate on your stack.
Multi-site SaaS with API, email reports, and CSV on every tier
Published plans include unlimited websites and events, API access, email reports, Swiss data-center storage, and CSV export—even on the free low-traffic tier—so agencies can run multiple client properties without plan-gated feature cliffs.
Swiss entity and Swiss analytics data center
Operated by digistats Analytics Ltd. (Dättwil AG); privacy policy commits to storing customer data in Switzerland. Managed hosting only—no self-hosted edition in public materials.
Configurable cookieless and cookie tracking modes
Full cookie tracking, cookieless user tracking (calculated ID, no device storage), and cookieless session tracking (session-level only, no cross-session recognition) so teams can match consent posture and geo rules. Limit: legal fit of each mode still depends on your counsel and implementation—not a blanket no-consent guarantee for every event design.
Server-side tag manager and event control
Define events, triggers, and selectors; gate which external tags and third parties receive data based on consent and configuration. Reduces reliance on brittle client-only pixels. Limit: marketers still need a clear data and tag taxonomy or complexity moves into fusedeck workspaces.
Reports, dashboards, and API exports
Ready-made reports (behaviour, campaigns, inbound, tag manager, visitors), report builder, dashboards, share links, raw or API export, and optional Looker Studio connectivity for deeper analysis without rebuilding every KPI in a spreadsheet.
On-site activation: scoring, modals, A/B tests
Score sessions, trigger call-to-action modals, run A/B tests, and inject dynamic content so analytics can drive conversion work inside the same product—not only offline reporting.
Server-side transfers to ad and CRM systems
Export audiences and conversion signals server-side toward platforms such as Meta, LinkedIn, and TikTok, plus API hooks to CRM or other systems, while keeping more tag logic off the browser. Limit: those destinations introduce their own processors and transfer assessments.
Shared Stack vs Owned Stack infrastructure
Shared multi-tenant cloud for standard deployments; Owned Stack with vendor-described physically separated infrastructure, white-label domain option, and higher scale for stricter security or traffic needs—still SaaS, not self-hosted open source.
| Assurance & compliance | digistats Analytics | fusedeck® |
|---|---|---|
| Independent security / no-logs audit | Not found Vendor claims no IP storage and no fingerprints; no public third-party audit PDF found. | Not found TOMs and legal opinions on cookieless tracking exist; no independent third-party security audit PDF found on primary trust pages. |
| ISO 27001 | Not found Not claimed on reviewed pages. Host partner ISO 14001 (environmental) is not an ISMS cert. | Not found No public ISO 27001 certificate located on imprint, privacy, TOM, or subprocessor pages. |
| SOC 2 / SOC 3 | Not found | Not found No SOC 2/3 report referenced on primary trust pages. |
| GDPR / EU data protection | Vendor claimed Swiss entity; privacy policy cites DSG and GDPR/DSGVO, cookieless design, Swiss storage. Not legal advice. | Vendor claimed Swiss operator; product data-privacy page claims GDPR/ePrivacy-configurable setups; privacy policy cites FADP and GDPR legal bases. Confirm DPA and configuration for your properties. |
| US CLOUD Act exposure (indicative) | Partial Swiss Ltd, no known US parent, analytics residency claimed in Switzerland; billing via Stripe, Inc. (US) and Coinbase. EuropeanStack assessment — not a vendor certification. Not legal advice. | Partial Swiss entity / no known US parent, but public subprocessors include AWS and ClickHouse, Inc. (US) with EU residency claims. Indicative medium exposure—not a clean bill of health and not legal advice. |
| Data processing agreement (B2B) | Partial Privacy policy describes Art. 28-style processing on behalf of customers; dedicated public DPA download not found — request signed DPA. | Vendor claimed German GTC state processing under an Auftragsverarbeitung with customer as controller and cptr as processor. Obtain the signed DPA + annex for your contracting entity. |
| EU AI Act | Not applicable Web analytics product; not positioned as an AI system product. | Not applicable Web analytics / marketing activation product; not positioned as an AI system under public materials. |
| Considerations & known limitations | digistats Analytics | fusedeck® |
|---|---|---|
| No public independent security audit | Medium Cookieless and no-IP claims are first-party only. Security questionnaires that require audit reports will need vendor outreach or a different product. | Medium TOMs are published, but we found no independent audit report or ISO 27001 / SOC 2 certificate. Security questionnaires and NDA materials may still be required for enterprise purchase. |
| US-linked payment subprocessors | Medium AGB names Stripe, Inc. (San Francisco) for cards and Coinbase for crypto. Billing and account data may leave the pure Swiss analytics path even if telemetry stays in Switzerland. | Not listed |
| Hosting provider not named publicly | Low Switzerland data-center claim without a published host legal name or full subprocessor list complicates transfer and residual-risk assessments. | Not listed |
| No self-host or open-source path | Medium Cannot pin collector versions, run fully air-gapped, or satisfy hard self-host mandates. Operational dependency on digistats uptime and roadmap. | Low Owned Stack is dedicated vendor-operated cloud, not buyer-operated self-hosting. Air-gapped or fully on-prem mandates need another product. |
| Registration path may be restricted | Low At research time the login UI stated registrations were disabled and /developers redirected to login. Confirm trial and API access before scheduling migration. | Not listed |
| AWS and US-domiciled database subprocessor | Not listed | Medium Despite Swiss HQ and EU storage claims, compute and DB path use AWS and ClickHouse, Inc. (US company, data on AWS Ireland). Policies that ban US-group cloud providers entirely may fail even if data residency is EU. |
| Capture Media AG vs cptr AG naming | Not listed | Low Imprint still lists Capture Media AG while the privacy policy names cptr AG as controller. Confirm the exact contracting party, invoice entity, and DPA counterparty on the order form. |
| Cookieless modes are not automatic legal clearance | Not listed | Medium Cookieless session tracking is positioned for compliance without consent, but full cookie and cookieless user modes, identity features, and ad-platform exports can reintroduce consent and transfer questions. Legal review of your event design remains mandatory. |
