GDPR Compliant Analytics: A Practical Guide

What makes a web analytics tool GDPR compliant, what to check before you pick one, and how Seven by Radost IT is built around these rules by default.

What Makes Web Analytics GDPR Compliant?

The GDPR regulates the collection and processing of personal data - anything that identifies, or could reasonably be used to identify, a specific person. An analytics tool sits closer to or further from GDPR risk depending on what it collects: IP addresses, device fingerprints and cross-site cookies all count as personal data or tracking that falls under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive.

An analytics tool built to avoid collecting that data in the first place - no cookies, no IP storage, no cross-site identifiers - sidesteps most of that risk by design, which is the approach Seven by Radost IT takes.

What to Check Before Picking an Analytics Tool

Does it use cookies?

Cookie-based tracking usually requires a consent banner under GDPR/ePrivacy before it can run.

Does it store IP addresses?

A raw, stored IP address is personal data. Look for tools that anonymize or never store it.

Does it track across sites?

Cross-site tracking (e.g. shared ad identifiers) raises the compliance bar significantly.

Where is data processed?

Where a vendor is based and hosts data affects your data-transfer obligations under GDPR.

Can you export or delete data?

Look for clear data-retention controls and the ability to delete data you no longer need.

Is there a Data Processing Agreement?

A GDPR-serious vendor should offer a DPA and be transparent about what it collects.
