---

Hardal is built for marketers who need trustworthy campaign data and working ad signals without managing the tracking plumbing. One first-party event stream becomes attribution, web and mobile reports, and ready-to-use destinations for Meta, Google Ads, TikTok, CRM systems, warehouses, and analytics tools.

Piwik PRO gives privacy teams analytics, tags, consent management, and data activation in one suite. Its Enterprise first-party collector sends analytics data through a first-party endpoint. Piwik PRO uses sGTM, JENTIS, or a hosting partner for multi-vendor server-side tagging.

## Pick the layer you need

Hardal gives marketers the numbers and destinations they need in one place. They can see which campaigns convert and send clean data back to ad platforms. Hardal handles sGTM, gateways, governance, and hosting underneath. Self-hosting remains available on the Enterprise plan when security requires it.

Piwik PRO fits analytics and privacy teams that need custom reports, dashboards, ecommerce and product analytics, 25 months of retention on the Business plan, and an integrated Consent Manager. Public and private cloud options suit regulated organizations with strict hosting requirements.

The products can work together with Hardal handling delivery and Piwik PRO handling analysis. Define consent and identity ownership before sending production data through both.
