Sitesights: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Sitesights is a privacy-focused web analytics tool presented as an alternative to Google Analytics. It offers a live dashboard with key metrics, custom event and goal tracking, user-flow reports, custom funnels and advanced filters. Projects let you manage several websites or apps with role-based team access, and an API and integrations are available. Sitesights tracks without cookies, and the vendor says no cookie consent is therefore needed. It is delivered as a hosted web application.

According to its privacy notice, the controller is Drude, Grossert GbR, a partnership form used in Germany. The vendor states that data is stored redundantly in European data centres. The notice also names Cloudflare as a content delivery network provider and mentions that data may be transferred to the USA, so ask the vendor which data passes through that service and where it is processed. Sitesights is not described as open source, and no self-hosting option is mentioned on its website.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Sitesights

Sitesights is headquartered in DE 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 Sitesights scores best on data residency.

Sitesights 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 Sitesights together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
