Insights: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Insights is a privacy-focused web analytics service for developers. It tracks page views, with statistics such as bounce rate, referrers and screen size, and custom events such as button clicks, leaving a page or scrolling. It is integrated through a customisable script, insights.js, and a JavaScript library, and the site states that it supports React, Angular and Vue. The vendor says Insights does not use cookies, so no cookie banner is needed. The library lets you log events with parameters, track page views automatically and send events to separate projects. Insights is delivered as a hosted service.

The Insights website is owned and operated by Unsourced Digital OG, and its terms are governed by Austrian law. The sources consulted do not state where Insights hosts data, and no self-hosted or open-source edition is mentioned. A European organisation should therefore ask the vendor for the hosting location and sub-processors before relying on it, and check its data processing terms.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Insights

Insights is headquartered in AT and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Insights scores best on data residency.

Insights is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Insights together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
