Piwik PRO Analytics Suite is a platform for collecting, analyzing and acting on web and app data. It has four modules: Analytics, Tag Manager, Data Activation and a consent manager.[1][2]

Piwik PRO Core is a privacy-focused web analytics platform designed as an alternative to Google Analytics. It offers a comprehensive suite of features including visitor tracking, event tracking, and custom reporting. Piwik PRO Core stands out for its emphasis on data ownership and compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA. It can be self-hosted or cloud-hosted, giving organizations full control over their data. This makes it particularly appealing to businesses in regulated industries or those with strict data privacy requirements.

Rough guide, not a measurement: each description is written automatically from the site’s technology stack and the site has not confirmed it. A site is counted once, in the first group its description fits (shop, help and docs, blog, marketing site; otherwise the whole site). Descriptions that only guess (“likely”, “may”) are left out.
