Things to watch

- Feature scope (e.g. scan reports, audit trails) depends on the plan – verify the plan matrix before contracting.
- Auto-scan can miss tags that fire only rarely.
Privacy & compliance notes
- Suitable for typical DACH SMB setups with GA4 and Google Ads.
- No legal assessment of the deployed tools is implied.
