About Pirsch

Pirsch is a privacy-friendly web analytics service developed and hosted in Germany. It measures traffic without cookies and without storing personal data, using daily-rotating anonymous fingerprints instead, which allows most European sites to run it without a cookie consent banner and keeps all data inside the EU.

Besides a lightweight JavaScript snippet, Pirsch can track entirely server-side through SDKs and integrations for languages and platforms such as Go, PHP, Node.js and WordPress, so ad blockers do not interfere and no client script is required. Dashboards cover pages, referrers, UTM campaigns, countries, devices, entry and exit pages, custom events with metadata and conversion goals, and data is available through an API, shareable dashboards and email reports. Pricing is tiered by monthly page views, with a Standard plan for small sites and a Plus plan that adds more advanced features and capacity for agencies and larger sites.

Pirsch suits European businesses, developers and agencies that need GDPR-friendly website analytics, particularly when server-side tracking matters. It is a smaller, less known product than Plausible or Fathom Analytics, which offer similar privacy positioning with larger communities and integration lists, and Matomo is the choice for teams that want a full Google Analytics-style suite on their own servers. It is not a product analytics tool, so in-app behavior and retention analysis belong in PostHog or Mixpanel.
