Web analytics and session replay from Ireland

IrelandEU Ownership reviewed, controller unresolved

Scope verdict

Ownership reviewed, controller unresolved

This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.

How we classify services

statcounter is a web analytics service based in Ireland. It covers the standard reporting you expect from an analytics tool, such as visitor numbers, sources and pages, and adds more advanced tracking features including session replay, so you can watch how individual visitors moved through a site.

As an Irish company it is a European alternative to US analytics providers for site owners who prefer an EU supplier. The free tier makes it usable for small personal sites, while the paid plans suit shops and businesses that want replay alongside their numbers.

Pricing

The free plan covers 500 page views and no session replays. Paid plans start at EUR 7 per month, and the cheapest plan with session replay costs EUR 16 per month.

Data and operations

Infrastructure and email path

Verified operational dependencies, shown separately from ownership and from the service's core data hosting.

Public website

Cloudflare

Non-European provider
Observed
A 104.20.23.96, 172.66.169.241 · AS13335

Why this matters

Public DNS routes website visits through Cloudflare. Visitor IP addresses and request metadata can reach this non-European provider; this does not identify the core service's data location.

Incoming business email

Rackspace Email

Non-European provider
Observed
MX 10 mx1.emailsrvr.com · 20 mx2.emailsrvr.com

Why this matters

Published MX records route incoming business email through Rackspace Email. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.

Authorised outbound email

Rackspace Email

Non-European provider
Observed
SPF emailsrvr.com

Why this matters

This domain authorises Rackspace Email to send email. If active, recipient details and message content can be processed by this non-European provider. SPF does not reveal its configured storage region.

Public DNS records identify visible providers and routes, not every backend location or private data-region setting.
