About EU-Medin

Hi, I’m Lukas Meier

Product Analytics Specialist · Munich, Germany

I’ve spent the last decade configuring analytics for e-commerce and SaaS products across Europe. After countless hours untangling messy event schemas and explaining the difference between “click” and “button_click” for the hundredth time, I built this reference.

EU-Medin (European Metrics & Data Intelligence) is a practical handbook that helps teams quickly set up understandable, GDPR-compliant tracking: which events are needed, how to name them, what parameters to pass, and how to validate that your analytics is clean and comparable across projects.

Why EU-Medin Exists

Chaos in event naming

Every team invents their own conventions, making cross-project analysis impossible.

Scattered documentation

Useful info is buried across tool docs, blog posts, and Slack threads nobody can find.

GDPR complexity

European teams need privacy-aware tracking that still delivers actionable insights.

What You’ll Find Here

01

Event Schemas

Ready-to-use event structures for e-commerce, SaaS, lead gen, content, and marketplace projects. Copy, adapt, ship.

02

Naming Conventions

Consistent naming rules that work across GA4, Matomo, PostHog, and any other tool your team uses.

03

Parameter References

Which parameters to pass with each event, what types to use, and how to keep your data layer clean.

04

Validation Checklists

Step-by-step QA flows to verify your tracking before launch. No more “the data looks weird” three months later.

05

UTM & Attribution

UTM strategies, campaign tagging templates, and attribution models that make sense for European markets.

06

Server-Side Patterns

When to move tracking server-side, how to set it up, and what changes in a post-cookie world.

My Approach

Practical over theoretical

Every schema and convention here has been tested in production across real European projects.

Tool-agnostic first

The patterns work regardless of whether you use GA4, Matomo, or PostHog. Tool-specific notes come second.

Privacy by default

Everything is designed with GDPR and ePrivacy in mind. No workarounds, no “just add consent later.”

Tables over paragraphs

You came here for a quick answer, not a 3,000-word essay. Schemas, checklists, and code — that’s it.

“No marketing fluff. No endless guides. Just tables, checklists, and schemas that work.”
