Deep dives

Articles & guides

Programmatic data and healthcare media in depth: each article answers one concrete question and links the matching platform pages.

  • Q01Privacy
    Do I have to share my email address?

    No. All results are visible in-browser right away, no account, no newsletter wall. The detailed PDF report (prioritised actions and GDPR risk scoring) is gated behind an optional email.

  • Q02Privacy
    Where are inputs and results stored?

    Only anonymised stats in our EU-hosted analytics (scan count, common errors). Emails, if provided, land in our EU-hosted newsletter stack. No US tool, no CRM re-targeting, no third-country transfers.

  • Q03Tools
    What tracking problems does the Measurement Health Check detect?

    The check scans 22 configuration points across GA4, Google Tag Manager, dataLayer, and Consent Mode V2. It surfaces missing conversion events, duplicate pageviews, broken gclid handoffs, misconfigured server-side containers, and consent leaks.

    • GA4 property configuration and event schema
    • GTM container: trigger order, dead tags, empty variables
    • Server-side tagging via stape.io or self-hosted
    • Consent Mode V2: default state, ads_data_redaction, url_passthrough
    • Direct-traffic hygiene: gclid restore, UTM strip, referrer spam
  • Q04Tools
    How long does a Measurement Health Check take?

    Around 4 seconds in the browser. The scan runs client-side on the URL you enter. No tags on your site, no DNS lookup in our backend, no cookie on your domain.

  • Q05Tools
    Which risk classes does the EU AI Act Quick-Check cover?

    The check maps your use case to the four official EU AI Act risk classes: unacceptable (prohibited), high (full obligations), limited (transparency duties), minimal (no obligations). 25 questions, around 25 seconds.

  • Q06Compliance
    When does the EU AI Act take effect?

    2 August 2026 for most provisions, including obligations for high-risk systems under Annex III. Bans on unacceptable practices have applied since 2 February 2025. Penalties reach 35 million euros or 7% of global annual turnover.

  • Q07Compliance
    Does the Quick-Check replace a formal conformity assessment?

    No. The Quick-Check is a 25-second orientation, not a notified conformity assessment under Annex VI/VII. High-risk systems need a full assessment with a risk-management system, technical documentation, and CE marking.

  • Q08AreaSignal
    What is AreaSignal?

    AreaSignal is the geo-audience data product of Datascale One GmbH. It scores postal codes and regions by campaign goal and ships a score, a national index and a confidence value per area. No cookies, no IDs, nothing personal.

  • Q09Open Source
    Are the GTM templates really open source?

    Yes. The GTM form-tracking template is Apache-2.0 licensed and lives on GitHub, fully self-hostable, with no lock-in and no licence cost. You can fork it, adapt it and drop it into your own Google Tag Manager container.

  • Q10Scope
    Are the tools suitable for small setups, or only enterprise?

    Both. The Measurement Health Check works on any public setup, from a 1-page WordPress site to 120+ site groups. The EU AI Act Quick-Check is industry- and size-agnostic. The same rules apply to solo founders and Fortune-500 groups.
