#12If you are advocating for European products, I would expect you to use Plausible or similar products instead of Google Analytics. This would allow you to avoid displaying the cookie banner.
Only if you’re not using cookies for anything else.
Wrong. Functionally necessary cookies like login or shopping cart cookies need no banners.

#13Nice, and this doesn't even include non-EU offerings like Switzerland's Exoscale, Proton, etc.
Proton seems to be there?

#17This is such a shame, we should be looking to source and produce things globally and find better ways to improve the logistics and efficiency world-wide. Why would the EU take such a protective stance which only enforces isolation and increases cost? Edit: Thanks for the responses, I am still looking for a signal that tells my post is sarcasm multiplied by cynicism.
Because we do not want to support the Trump administration and the only way we can vote is with our wallets.

That doesn't really work as long as you have legislation like the CLOUD Act, which means EU-based businesses have to think twice about using any US providers, especially if they handle sensitive customer data and also since the DPF is on the way out.

Because US proved itself to be an unreliable partner.

#20Great to see a directory like this starting to include physical products. I'd be interested in having some extra datapoints to help with decision making:
- How much of the product/company's supply chain is in EU (to get an idea of just how European the product is, is it made here or abroad)
- Some way to show if the company is paying "fair" tax in EU (or are profits shifted abroad)
These are difficult datapoints to get, but I wonder if there can be some sort of "community notes" where this data can be crowd sourced and updated on the directory.
