Cookie-free day-hash session tracking
No analytics cookies. Same-day visitor correlation uses hashes of IP, user agent, site ID, and a daily rotating signature (page hashes also include host/path). Hashes expire within 24 hours so multi-day visitor histories and IP recovery are not available by design.
Traffic, channel, and live visitor dashboards
Dashboards cover visits, pageviews, bounce rate, dwell time, devices/browsers, geo down to city, channel mix including AI traffic, outbound link clicks, live visitors on a short refresh interval, and period-over-period comparisons without a heavy analyst UI.
E-commerce funnels and revenue breakdowns
Shop metrics include products sold, cart abandonment, add-to-cart style signals, checkout funnel visibility, and revenue by channel and location—aimed at operators who need store KPIs without a full GA4 ecommerce implementation.
UTM, goals, GSC keywords, and public reports
Campaign UTMs, conversion goals (including auto goals), optional Google Search Console keyword views, shareable public dashboards (URL or iframe), and PDF reports support marketers and agencies who need client-facing summaries.
CMS and shop plugins plus GA import
Documented integrations include WordPress, Shopware, Shopify, JTL, and ePages. Help center also covers script install, excluding own IP/paths, ads tracking patterns, and importing historical Google Analytics data when migrating.
Daily-rotating hash visitor counting (no analytics cookies)
Visitor uniqueness for a day is derived from HASH(salt + domain + IP + User-Agent) with a salt that rotates every 24 hours; IP and User-Agent are not retained after hashing, per the DPA and docs. No cookies, localStorage, or browser cache for the analytics session—and therefore no multi-day new/returning visitor split. Fits privacy-led sites that prioritize aggregate trends over identity graphs.
Single-page traffic dashboard
Unique visitors, sessions, page views, bounce rate, duration, entry/exit pages, geography, devices, languages, referrals, and UTM campaigns appear on one overview without multi-level custom report builders. Aimed at agencies and SMEs that want operational metrics without a full-time analytics specialist.
Custom events, goals, and automatic link/download tracking
Track button clicks, scrolls, form submits, custom event names with metadata, and conversion goals; outbound links and file downloads can be auto-captured with HTML attributes to exclude specific URLs. Useful for content and lead-gen sites measuring meaningful actions without cookie tags.
Ecommerce funnel events (beta script)
Optional vantevo-ecommerce.js records wishlist, view item, cart add/remove, checkout stages, payment type, coupons, variants/categories, and purchase—docs mark the ecommerce section as still in beta. Best for shops that need privacy-oriented funnel visibility and can accept beta maturity.
Universal Analytics import and multi-platform install paths
Connect Google Analytics to import page statistics from January 2018 onward into the same calendar view (with documented metric gaps and API limits). Ship via head script, WordPress plugin, React/Vue/npm packages, Shopify/Wix theme paste, hybrid apps, or server-side event APIs—plus optional Search Console connection for keyword/impression views.
| Assurance & compliance | Trackboxx | Vantevo Analytics |
|---|---|---|
| Independent security / privacy audit | Not found No public third-party audit PDF or cert registry entry found on primary pages. | Not found No public third-party audit PDF or no-logs attestation found on security/docs pages searched. |
| ISO 27001 | Not found No ISO 27001 claim found on imprint, help center, or DPA materials reviewed. | Not found No ISO 27001 certificate or registry evidence found on the public site. |
| SOC 2 / SOC 3 | Not found No SOC 2/3 report referenced on public trust materials reviewed. | Not found No SOC 2/3 report referenced on public trust/legal pages. |
| GDPR / EU data protection | Vendor claimed German controller imprint; cookie-free hash model; public DPA; processing described as EU/EEA. Vendor asserts DSGVO fitness—confirm with counsel for your site stack. | Vendor claimed Italian controller (Netforce Srl); cookie-less visitor model and EU hosting asserted on docs/GDPR pages; public DPA available. Vendor “100% GDPR compliant” wording is a claim, not independent legal certification. |
| US CLOUD Act exposure (indicative) | Partial EU sole-trader operator, no known US parent; analytics hosting claimed in Frankfurt. Partial/medium because privacy policy names Amazon SES (AWS) for email with possible US transfers; payments via UK Paddle. Not legal advice. | Partial EU entity / no known US parent, but DPA lists AWS alongside OVH Roubaix; Stripe and optional Google APIs are US-group services. Not a clean EU-only infrastructure story. Not legal advice. |
| Data processing agreement (B2B) | Vendor claimed Free AV/DPA offered at order and as PDF; annex lists hosting, Paddle, BunnyWay. | Vendor claimed Public DPA at vantevo.io/dpa; Terms state DPA forms part of the main agreement (customer controller, Netforce processor). |
| EU AI Act | Not applicable Web analytics SaaS; not an AI system product for AI Act high-risk classification purposes. | Not applicable Web analytics SaaS; not marketed as an AI system product. |
| Considerations & known limitations | Trackboxx | Vantevo Analytics |
|---|---|---|
| Consent banner claim is vendor legal opinion | Medium Trackboxx argues legitimate interest and no opt-in for its cookie-free tracker alone, while noting some DPOs disagree. Other tags on the site can still force banners. Treat as diligence input, not a legal certificate. | Not listed |
| Amazon SES on email path | Medium Privacy policy discloses AWS SES for system/newsletter email with possible US transfers. Distinct from Frankfurt analytics storage, but raises residual US-group process exposure for account communications. | Not listed |
| No self-host edition | Low Managed SaaS only. Policies that mandate customer-operated infrastructure need a different product. | Low No public self-host option. Continuity depends on Netforce operations, OVH/AWS, and export/delete workflows (JSON/CSV return or delete timelines in DPA/Terms). |
| No public ISO/SOC/independent audit | Medium Procurement teams that require cert packs will need questionnaires, DPA annex review, and possibly NDA materials beyond the public site. | Not listed |
| Same-day hash limits multi-day user journeys | Low By design you cannot rebuild long-lived individual visitor histories across days. Teams needing identity-resolution analytics will find this a hard product limit. | Not listed |
| AWS (and other US-group services) in data path | Not listed | Medium Despite Italian HQ and EU hosting marketing, the DPA explicitly stores data at OVH Roubaix and an AWS datacenter. Stripe payments and optional Google integrations add further US-group processors. Organizations with strict “no US cloud” policies need written clarification of regions, SCCs, and residual access risk. |
| No public ISO/SOC or independent audit | Not listed | Medium Shortlisting relies on vendor security measures described in the DPA (encryption, backups, breach notification windows) without published certs or third-party audit reports. Security questionnaires and NDA evidence may be required for regulated buyers. |
| No multi-day visitor identity by design | Not listed | Low Daily salt rotation and cookie-less design prevent classic returning-visitor and cross-device analysis. This is a privacy feature for many buyers and a hard product limit for others. |
| Ecommerce module still beta | Not listed | Medium Official ecommerce docs mark the section as beta/incomplete for final publication. Do not assume GA ecommerce parity or long-term event stability without a pilot. |
| View overage and website caps in Terms | Not listed | Low Recording can pause after plan-specific overage tolerances; Terms also set a 50-website maximum per account. Align marketing “unlimited domains” language with contract terms before large agency rollouts. |
