The backstory
Seline is a small privacy-first analytics tool that skips cookies and keeps data in Germany. It covers page views, referrers, funnels and revenue without the setup burden of Google Analytics. AI-generated reporting inside the big free platforms erodes the reason to pay for a nicer chart. Seline keeps customers who genuinely need EU hosting and a dashboard their whole team can read.
