European Server-Side Tagging Tools

Tag managers load analytics and advertising scripts, and server-side tagging moves part of that work from the visitor's browser to a server you control, which cuts the number of third-party scripts on the page and decides what leaves your domain.

Because the tagging server sees raw request data such as IP addresses and cookies, the hosting country and the company behind it matter for GDPR. This page lists twelve tools with a contracting entity in the EU or the UK, from hosted Google Tag Manager servers to full European tag management platforms.

How we rank these tools — 4-step process
  1. 1
    European ownership, verified

    The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA, the UK, Switzerland or Israel, and processes customer data in Europe or Israel. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.

  2. 2
    Category fit and hands-on review

    What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.

  3. 3
    Compliance and pricing check

    GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.

  4. 4
    Position on this page

    Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect the order tools appear in. It never buys a listing: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.

Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Vendors can pay for more visibility, higher up on the review pages; it never affects whether a tool is listed. Editorial policy

Key takeaways

  • Addingwell in Lille offers the largest free plan among the hosted Google server containers, at up to 100,000 requests a month, and has belonged to the consent vendor Didomi since 2025, according to the vendor.
  • TAGGRS in Heerenveen runs its own servers in six European countries and names an ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certificate issued by DEKRA.
  • owntag in Hamburg charges one price of €100 a month including 5 million requests and states that its infrastructure uses no Google Cloud, AWS or Azure.
  • JENTIS in Vienna, Commanders Act in Paris and Piwik PRO in Wroclaw replace Google's container with their own tag managers, which means tags are rebuilt, not moved.
  • Littledata is a UK company, but its privacy policy places stored data on servers in North Virginia, USA, so it does not give an EU-hosted setup.

European server-side tagging and tag management software moves analytics and advertising tags from the visitor's browser to a server run by a company in the EU, EEA or UK, so that the hosting provider that sees raw request data such as IP addresses and cookies falls under European law.

#1 Addingwell

Lille, France Free plan with up to 100,000 requests; paid plans from €90 per month for 1,000,000 requests; add-ons €30 per container, €10 per domain, €20 per region monthly Demo on request

Best for: Marketing and analytics teams that want sGTM hosted in Europe next to a consent platform

  • Operating company. Addingwell SAS
  • Jurisdiction. EU (France)
  • Where the data sits. Flexible hosting regions with an optional multi-region add-on; exact regions not checked
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Google Tag Manager server containers on Cloud Run, plus self-run tagging servers

Addingwell hosts Google Tag Manager server containers so that a team can stop running its own Cloud Run project. The product adds a custom domain, a CDN for the gtm.js and gtag.js scripts, tag health monitoring and event consent monitoring, and it publishes its prices: a free plan up to 100,000 requests and paid steps from €90 a month for 1,000,000 requests.

Addingwell SAS is based in Lille, and its privacy policy cites an RCS Paris number, which is how the register entry is written there. According to the vendor, the company joined Didomi in 2025. Which regions Addingwell hosts in was not checked, and the vendor's uplift figures for ROAS and traffic recovery are its own claims.

What Addingwell does well

  • Public monthly prices with six volume steps
  • Free plan up to 100,000 requests
  • Event-level consent monitoring
  • Documentation covers ITP, ad blockers and offline events
  • French contracting entity with a named seat in Lille

Where Addingwell falls short

  • Owned by Didomi since 2025, so the product roadmap follows a consent vendor
  • Extra containers, domains and regions are paid add-ons
  • Unused monthly requests are not carried over
  • Hosting regions not stated on the pages read

Standout feature. Event consent monitoring shows, per event, which consent state arrived at the server.

#2 TAGGRS

Heerenveen, Netherlands Founded 2022 Free up to 10,000 requests per month; Basic from €22 per month (750,000 requests), Pro from €57 (3,000,000), Ultimate from €127 (10,000,000); Enterprise on request Demo on request

  • Where the data sits. Own server network in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Sweden and Norway; the customer picks a region
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Google Tag Manager server containers on Google Cloud, Stape-style hosting

TAGGRS sells hosted server-side GTM containers and a Meta Conversions API gateway, and runs them on its own servers in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Sweden and Norway, where the customer picks a region. Every plan includes a custom subdomain, cookie recovery against the 7-day Safari limit and a PII anonymizer.

TAGGRS B.V. in Heerenveen was founded in 2022. Its security page names an ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certificate from DEKRA, last evaluated in February 2025. Plans run from free at 10,000 requests to Ultimate at €127 a month, and the pricing page shows several columns per plan, so confirm the figure for your site type. Refunds are not given.

  • Own server network in six European countries
  • ISO 27001 certificate stated with auditor and date
  • Free plan with 10,000 requests
  • Plugins for six shop platforms
  • Partner programme with consolidated invoicing

Where TAGGRS falls short

  • Prices vary by billing toggle and site type
  • No refunds
  • One account per website unless multi-domain is used
  • Multi-domain only from Pro

Standout feature. A named ISO 27001 certificate combined with servers it runs itself, rather than rented cloud capacity.

#3 Measurebase

Elst (Gelderland), Netherlands Free to 15,000 requests per month; Solo €16, Growth €28, Scale €40, Business €60 per month; Enterprise custom; yearly billing saves 20% Demo on request

Best for: Small and mid-sized sites that want all features at every price point and a hosted audit

  • Jurisdiction. EU (Netherlands)
  • Where the data sits. Amsterdam, Netherlands, on infrastructure operated by Measurebase

The pricing page states hosting in Amsterdam on infrastructure Measurebase operates, and paid tiers run from Solo at €16 to Business at €60 a month.

The operator is Dash Forward, trading as Measurebase, in Elst, Gelderland, under KVK 91017408. The founding year and customer names are not published, and request logs are kept for only 3 to 30 days. The Auto Grant Consent power-up is described as testing only, so your own banner still decides consent.

What Measurebase does well

  • Every feature on every plan, including Free
  • Hosting in Amsterdam stated on the pricing page
  • Nightly audit with fixes proposed in your GTM workspace
  • Flat multi-domain plans up to ten domains
  • EU-law DPA included on all plans

Where Measurebase falls short

  • Request logs kept only 3 to 30 days
  • Profit tracking only on request
  • Small vendor compared with the enterprise platforms

Standout feature. A nightly audit that proposes fixes directly in your GTM workspace.

#4 JENTIS

Vienna, Austria Core, Professional and Enterprise plans; prices on request (Get Price) Demo on request

Best for: Larger sites and publishers that want a replacement tag manager with managed EU hosting

  • Operating company. JENTIS GmbH
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Austria)

  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Google Tag Manager, Tealium-style tag managers

JENTIS is a tag manager of its own, from Vienna, that runs client-side and server-side tags together. It does not host Google's container, so adopting it means rebuilding tags. The feature list includes raw data access, a mobile SDK, persistent cookies, native connectors and SSO.

JENTIS GmbH appears in the imprint under Commercial Court of Vienna 529675i, with VAT number ATU75406106. Hosting is managed on EU infrastructure with 24/7 support, though the Professional plan offers a choice of EU or US cloud.

What JENTIS does well

  • Own hybrid tag manager rather than a Google add-on
  • Managed EU hosting with 24/7 support

  • Imprint with Commercial Court of Vienna number
  • Enterprise features such as SSO and dedicated infrastructure

Best for: Teams that want a single clear price and a purely European stack for their sGTM

owntag GmbH is registered in Hamburg at Amtsgericht Hamburg HRB 189807, VAT DE451812955. The site says its infrastructure sits in the EU with no Google Cloud, AWS or Azure. The founding year and any certification are not named, and the browser fingerprinting feature needs legal review before use.

What owntag does well

  • Flat price with 5 million requests included
  • Official unmodified Google container
  • EU-only infrastructure stated
  • Up to 10 custom domains included
  • Free trial without a credit card

Best for: Publishers and agencies that want French hosting on European providers and many domains

  • Operating company. Sirdata SAS
  • Jurisdiction. EU (France)
  • Where the data sits. Scaleway (France) and Hetzner (Germany), with redundant infrastructure in France, Germany and the Netherlands
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Self-run server GTM on Google Cloud

Sirdata sGTM is the server-side tagging service of Sirdata, a Paris company in data and consent. It hosts the container on Scaleway in France and Hetzner in Germany, with redundant infrastructure across France, Germany and the Netherlands, and adds a GTM-Helper script that also works with other hosts.

Sirdata SAS was founded in 2012 and sits under RCS Paris 790 193 924. The Smart plan is listed from €80 a month on an annual commitment, usage-based from €0, with a 14-day trial, unlimited domains and €29 for each extra container. Support on Smart responds within three days, and the pricing page places both figures side by side.

What Sirdata sGTM does well

  • Hosts named: Scaleway and Hetzner
  • Unlimited domains on every plan
  • 14-day free trial
  • GTM-Helper works with other hosts too
  • Partner plan with free ABconsent CMP

Where Sirdata sGTM falls short

Antwerp, Belgium Free to 10,000 requests; Starter €21 per month billed annually (€25 monthly) for 750,000 requests; Business €55 (3,000,000); Professional €125 (10,000,000); Expert €195 (50,000,000) Demo on request

Best for: Small advertisers and shops that want a Belgian host with predictable monthly steps

  • Operating company. Connexeon BV
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Belgium)

  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Self-run Google Tag Manager server containers

Onetagger hosts server-side tagging from Antwerp, with a custom loader, a data enricher, cookie recovery and a webhook tester. Plugins cover WordPress, Shopify and Magento, and the interface is available in ten languages. The vendor states more than 300 integrations.

The operator is Connexeon BV, and the terms apply Belgian law. The privacy policy says the servers are hardware the company owns in Belgium, but no data centre, certification or founding year is named. Prices run from a free plan at 10,000 requests through Starter €21 and Business €55 to Expert €195 for 50,000,000 requests.

What Onetagger does well

  • Belgian entity with an address in Antwerp
  • Owns its server hardware, per the privacy policy

#8 Piwik PRO

Wroclaw, Poland Founded 2013 A free core plan exists; paid tiers are quoted by the sales team Book a demo

Best for: Enterprises and public bodies that want a tag manager in the same suite as analytics and consent

  • Operating company. Piwik PRO S.A.
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Poland)
  • Where the data sits. Data centres inside the EU only, with Sweden listed on the category page; the vendor says EU customers see no US transfers
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Google Analytics 360 and Adobe Analytics, with the tag manager module standing in for Google Tag Manager

Piwik PRO bundles analytics, a tag manager, a customer data platform and a consent manager, so the tag manager here is one module of a wider suite. The category page lists the tag manager next to a link to the consent manager, with hosting in Sweden.

Piwik PRO S.A. is based in Wroclaw, Poland, and was founded in 2013. It states EU-only data centres and no US transfers for EU customers. A free core plan exists and paid plans are quoted. Next to the hosts in this list it is a larger product than a site needs if hosting is the only question.

What Piwik PRO does well

  • Four modules from one supplier: analytics, tags, CDP and consent
  • The consent signal and the measurement come from one system
  • Data centres only in the EU, according to the vendor
  • Analytical depth aimed at Google Analytics 360 users
  • Core tier costs nothing

Where Piwik PRO falls short

  • Heavier to run than the single-purpose hosts above
  • Paid tiers need a sales conversation
  • Too much product for a site that only wants hosting
  • Closed source

Standout feature. Consent and measurement sit in the same product as the tag manager.

#9 Commanders Act

Paris, France Every plan is quoted after a sales conversation; no tiers are published Book a demo

Best for: Enterprise marketing teams that want tag collection, consent and a CDP under one French contract

  • Operating company. Fjord Technologies (trading as Commanders Act)
  • Jurisdiction. EU (France)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Tealium and Twilio Segment on the tag side, mParticle on the CDP side

Commanders Act started as a server-side tag management business and still sells the Enterprise Tag Manager, with more than 100 server-side destinations and consent state attached to events. A Real-Time CDP and, since the Adloop acquisition in October 2023, ad-spend optimisation make up the rest of the suite.

The company trades under that name but is registered as Fjord Technologies in Paris, SIREN 527 730 782. It publishes no pricing, advertises no free trial and gives no founding year, and the vendor does not say where it hosts. Every plan is scoped in a sales conversation.

What Commanders Act does well

  • Tags, consent and customer profiles bought from the same Paris company
  • Hosting in the EU is stated by the vendor
  • Customer profiles can be unified, split into segments and pushed to channels in real time
  • Adloop, bought in 2023, brings ad-spend optimisation into the same contract

Where Commanders Act falls short

  • Prices are never shown publicly
  • No trial is offered on the vendor site
  • The CDP is one of three lines, so it is less specialised than a pure CDP
  • The vendor gives no founding year

Standout feature. It owns both the tag collection and the consent layer, so no seam sits between them.

#10 Tracklution

Finland, Finland The free tier carries 5,000 events; the Grow plan is EUR 39.20 a month on annual billing for 50,000 events; Enterprise and Agency are priced individually Book a demo

Best for: Small advertisers and agencies who want better conversion signals for Meta and Google Ads

  • Operating company. Tracklution Oy
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Finland)
  • Where the data sits. Amazon Web Services, with the main data centres in Stockholm
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Hand-placed ad pixels and a self-built GTM server container

Tracklution is a Finnish service that captures conversion events on the server and delivers them to Meta and Google Ads, with offline conversions from CRM, payment or backend systems. The attribution engine appears on the paid Grow plan and above.

Tracklution Oy issues the terms under Finnish law. The security page states AWS with primary data centres in Stockholm, and lists SOC 2 and ISO 27001. The free plan covers 5,000 events and Grow costs €39.20 a month billed annually for 50,000 events. The vendor claims 34.2 percent of conversions recovered on average.

What Tracklution does well

  • A free tier exists for a first test
  • Paid entry at EUR 39.20 a month
  • Main data centres are in Stockholm
  • Offline sales can be sent back to ad platforms
  • Agencies get one account that manages many clients

Where Tracklution falls short

  • Conversion delivery first, attribution second
  • The attribution engine starts on Grow
  • The free tier stops at 5,000 events
  • No media mix modelling or incrementality tests

Standout feature. Offline conversions from your own CRM or backend are sent to ad platforms server-side.

#11 walkerOS by elbwalker

Hamburg, Germany Software free (MIT); fixed-price services Starter €5,000, Professional €10,000, Enterprise from €20,000; support €600 to €2,400 per month; consulting call €399 Demo on request

  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Google Tag Manager and server-side GTM stacks

walkerOS is open-source event collection from elbwalker that you define as configuration in your repository. Sources include the browser, dataLayer and HTTP, a collector handles consent, and destinations such as GA4 and BigQuery are included. The software is free under the MIT licence.

elbwalker GmbH is registered in Hamburg at Amtsgericht Hamburg HRB 156985. Revenue comes from services: fixed-price packages at €5,000, €10,000 and from €20,000, support from €600 to €2,400 a month and a €399 consulting call. The location of the optional hosted app was not checked.

What walkerOS by elbwalker does well

  • MIT licence with no restrictions stated
  • Config-as-code with review in version control
  • Self-hostable
  • Named company with Hamburg register entry
  • Fixed-price implementation packages

Where walkerOS by elbwalker falls short

  • Needs developers
  • Implementation packages start at €5,000
  • No visual container editor
  • Hosted app details not checked

Standout feature. Tracking changes go through pull requests in version control, not through a container editor.

#12 Littledata

Newbury, United Kingdom Flex charges $0.35 for each order; Scale begins at $219 a month for 2,000 orders in the vendor calculator; Plus begins at $792 a month; every plan starts with 30 free days Book a demo

Best for: Shopify merchants who want complete orders in GA4 and ad accounts

  • Operating company. Littledata Technologies Ltd
  • Jurisdiction. United Kingdom (outside the EEA, covered by an adequacy decision)
  • Where the data sits. A database in North Virginia, USA, on Google or AWS machines according to the privacy policy
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Do-it-yourself Shopify tracking scripts

Littledata is a Shopify app that captures orders once and delivers them to GA4, Meta, Google Ads, TikTok and Klaviyo, using a persistent ID to recognise returning shoppers after cookies expire. Profit Signal adds gross profit to the conversions sent to ad platforms.

Littledata Technologies Ltd is registered in England and Wales with its office in Newbury. Its privacy policy states that data is stored on Google or AWS servers in North Virginia, USA. Billing runs through Shopify: $0.35 per order on Flex, Scale from $219 a month at 2,000 orders, Plus from $792, with a 30-day trial.

What Littledata does well

  • Replaces a GTM setup on a Shopify store
  • Recognises returning shoppers for up to a year
  • Charges per order, with a 30-day trial
  • British company with an office in Newbury
  • Passes gross profit to ad platforms

Where Littledata falls short

  • Works with Shopify and nothing else
  • Delivers clean data but no attribution model of its own
  • The database sits in the USA
  • Plus begins at $792 a month

Standout feature. It replaces manual Shopify tracking with one data layer that feeds every channel the same orders.

Should I host the Google server container or switch to a different tag manager?

Start from what you already run. If your tags are built in Google Tag Manager and your only problem is the server underneath, a hosted container is the smaller step: Addingwell, TAGGRS, Measurebase, owntag, Sirdata sGTM and Onetagger each take the same Google server container and run it for a monthly fee, so existing tags, triggers and variables keep working. owntag states that it runs the official unmodified Google image.

A different tag manager is a larger decision. JENTIS from Vienna and Commanders Act from Paris have their own interfaces and data models, and Piwik PRO ships its tag manager inside an analytics suite. Choose one of those when the aim is to remove Google's software from the chain, and accept that every tag is rebuilt and tested again.

What does server-side tagging cost with a European host?

The published prices differ in shape. Measurebase is free to 15,000 requests and then €16, €28, €40 and €60 a month. TAGGRS goes from free at 10,000 requests to €22 for 750,000, €57 for 3,000,000 and €127 for 10,000,000. Onetagger asks €21 billed annually for 750,000 and climbs to €195 for 50,000,000. Addingwell starts at €90 for 1,000,000 requests, after a free plan of 100,000.

owntag is the flat one at €100 including 5 million requests and €1.50 per further 100,000. Sirdata sGTM lists a Smart plan from €80 a month on an annual commitment, with a €29 charge for each extra container. JENTIS and Commanders Act quote on request, and walkerOS is free software with services priced from €5,000. Compare on your monthly request count, not on the headline price.

Where is the data actually processed?

The answers range from named to unstated. Sirdata sGTM names Scaleway in France and Hetzner in Germany. TAGGRS lists its own servers in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Sweden and Norway. Measurebase states Amsterdam on its own infrastructure, Onetagger says its Belgian servers are hardware it owns, and Tracklution names AWS with primary data centres in Stockholm.

Others leave it open. Addingwell offers flexible regions, but the exact regions were not checked. JENTIS gives a choice of EU or US cloud on its Professional plan, so check that EU is selected. Littledata states North Virginia in the USA. Ask each vendor for a sub-processor list before you sign a data processing agreement.

How do I move from a Cloud Run server container to a European host?

Keep the web container and change what it points at. The hosts above give you an endpoint, you map it to a subdomain on your own domain, and you update the DNS records. Then test every tag in preview mode and compare event counts in GA4 and your ad platforms for several days with both servers running.

Plan the order: lower the DNS time-to-live ahead of the switch, move one site first, and cancel the old cloud project only when the counts match. Addingwell, TAGGRS and Measurebase also list plugins or audits that help here, and Measurebase runs a nightly check that proposes fixes in your GTM workspace.

When should I not switch away from Google Tag Manager?

If your site has low traffic and the browser container is all you use, the switch buys little. Google's container itself is free, and a server only becomes a cost once you run server-side tagging. A European host also does not decide whether a tag may fire; that depends on your consent collection and on what each destination does with the data after the server forwards it.

Hold off too if nobody on the team can rebuild tags. JENTIS, Commanders Act, Piwik PRO and walkerOS replace the container, and walkerOS in particular needs developers, with implementation packages from €5,000. Moving only the hosting is much cheaper than moving the tag manager.

Which tools suit Shopify stores or ad-platform conversions?

For conversion data sent to ad platforms, Tracklution is built around Meta and Google Ads connectors and offline conversions, with a free plan of 5,000 events. Littledata is a Shopify-only app that sends orders to GA4, Meta, Google Ads, TikTok and Klaviyo, at $0.35 per order on Flex.

TAGGRS and Onetagger also list shop plugins, six platforms for TAGGRS and four for Onetagger, which makes them the hosted-container route for stores that want to keep GTM. Pick Littledata only if US storage is acceptable.

How we selected and ranked these 12 tools

Every tool on this page is in the European Purpose directory, which means the operating company is established in Europe and we have verified that from the company register or the vendor's own legal notice rather than from a marketing page. Tools headquartered outside Europe are not eligible, however good they are.

  1. Feature verification (weight: 40%). We check each capability against the vendor's own documentation and product pages, and record what the tool does rather than what the category is assumed to include.
  2. Ease of adoption (weight: 30%). Integrations, published API access, trial availability and how much configuration stands between signing and a usable result.
  3. Value and transparency (weight: 30%). Published pricing counts in a vendor's favour; quote-only pricing is recorded as quote-only rather than estimated. We weigh what a buyer gets for the entry price, not the headline feature count.
  4. Editorial review. Every page is researched and drafted with AI assistance, and the compliance and pricing claims are checked against the vendor's documentation before it is published under the founder's editorial responsibility. The three weights above decide the order; a position is a ranking against the other European tools in this category, not an absolute score.

Vendor-reported outcomes — ROI figures, margin uplift, time saved — are labelled as vendor claims wherever they appear on this page. We have not audited them, and neither has anyone else who quotes them. Read our full editorial process for how pages are re-verified.

Frequently asked questions

For hosting the Google server container in Europe, Addingwell, TAGGRS and Measurebase lead this list, followed by owntag, Sirdata sGTM and Onetagger. For a European tag manager in place of Google's, JENTIS, Piwik PRO and Commanders Act are the options. The right one depends on whether you keep your existing GTM tags.

Addingwell is free to 100,000 requests, Measurebase to 15,000, TAGGRS and Onetagger to 10,000 and Tracklution to 5,000 events. Piwik PRO lists a free core plan, and walkerOS is MIT-licensed software. Sirdata sGTM and owntag offer a trial instead.

Sirdata sGTM names Scaleway and Hetzner, TAGGRS its own servers in six countries, Measurebase Amsterdam, Onetagger owned hardware in Belgium and Tracklution AWS in Stockholm. owntag states that it uses no Google Cloud, AWS or Azure.

Not with the hosts. Addingwell, TAGGRS, Measurebase, owntag, Sirdata sGTM and Onetagger run the Google server container. JENTIS, Commanders Act, Piwik PRO and walkerOS replace it, and the tags are recreated there.

No. It reduces who handles raw request data, but consent collection, purposes and what each destination does with forwarded data stay your responsibility. Check the data processing agreement and the sub-processor list.
