# GDPR Tool Finder

## Short description

GDPR Tool Finder is an independent editorial comparison and finder
for GDPR cookie-consent tools and privacy-friendly analytics tools.
It targets small and mid-sized businesses in the EU, with practical
examples from the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland).

## Who it is for

- Operators of small EU websites that need a GDPR-compliant cookie
  banner and a privacy-friendly analytics tool.
- Agencies and freelancers shopping for tools on behalf of clients.
- Researchers and journalists comparing the consent / analytics
  vendor landscape.

## What the finder does

- Asks 10 structured questions about the operator's site, audience,
  tooling stack, and compliance constraints.
- Returns three recommendations in distinct buckets — low-cost,
  balanced, and advanced — based on an editorial scoring model.
- Surfaces confidence and trade-off information for each pick,
  alongside warnings when a vendor claim could not be verified.

## Important limitations

- Not legal advice. The site explains options and trade-offs; a
  GDPR/DSGVO assessment for a specific deployment is the operator's
  or their counsel's responsibility.
- Recommendations follow the editorial methodology at https://gdprtoolfinder.eu/methodik,
  **not** affiliate compensation. Affiliate links, where present,
  carry rel="nofollow sponsored" and are disclosed at
  https://gdprtoolfinder.eu/affiliate-hinweis.
- Vendor claims (pricing, features, hosting region, DPA scope) are
  best-effort and should be verified with the vendor before any
  contractual decision.
- The site covers cookie-consent and privacy-friendly analytics
  tools today. Other GDPR-adjacent categories (DPA management,
  data-subject-request platforms, full-fledged CMPs for ad-tech
  publishers) are not in scope.
