Tag Inspector: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Tag Inspector is a browser-based application that audits the tracking tags and cookies on websites. It checks consent compliance and looks for personal data leaking through tags, and it is aimed at data protection officers, IT directors and website owners. A companion Chrome extension, Tag Explorer, supports quick reviews of single pages. The main application is accessed through a web login, and it is a proprietary product rather than open-source software.

Tag Inspector is developed by InfoTrust, a digital analytics consulting and technology company headquartered in Blue Ash, near Cincinnati in Ohio, United States. The vendor's public pages do not state who owns the company, where scan data is stored, or which GDPR commitments apply to InfoTrust's own processing. Because both the product and the company are based in the United States, a European organisation should check data location, sub-processors and transfer safeguards before entering website data into the service.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Tag Inspector

Tag Inspector is headquartered in the United States. US vendors fall under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702: US authorities can compel access to data, even when that data sits in a European data centre. That is the core of the jurisdictional exposure in our model.

Tag Inspector hosts data outside the EU (US). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

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