Multiple sites per account, tiered by page-views.

Privacy & hosting

Vendor based in Canada – the legal situation around data transfer is GDPR-relevant; case-by-case assessment required.

The marketing phrase 'no cookies, no personal data' is not automatically a free pass – check against the concrete setup.

Setup typically takes less than an hour.
