Matomo (former Piwik) Analytics
Matomo Analytics is a self-hosted open source web analytics service offered by Matomo.org that tracks and reports website traffic. With Matomo (Piwik) the privacy of my users and analytics data is ensured. When using Matomo, I keep control of my data. Your data is stored in my own MySQL database, and logs or report data will never be sent to other servers.
In March 2011, the Independent Center for Privacy Protection in Germany (ULD) recommended Matomo (Piwik) as privacy-compliant web analytics software.
In January 2014, the Center for Data Privacy Protection in France (CNIL) recommended Matomo (Piwik) as the only tool that can easily ensure full compliance with privacy regulations. In July 2014 the French CNIL recommends Matomo: the only analytics tool that does not require Cookie Consent.
Matomo (Piwik) privacy compliance is also reflected by the many government agencies who already trust and rely on Matomo (in Europe, Asia, North America, Africa) for providing self-hosted web analytics.
To opt-out of all web tracking technologies (including Google Analytics and Matomo), using an extension such as Noscript or Ghostery is the safest way: these browser extensions will disable all the known JavaScript trackers and ensure that your browser does not send a request to external tracking servers. If you wish to browse the Internet without your IP address being tracked at all, please consider using Tor Browser which will automatically connect you to the secured and anonymous Tor network. If you wish to send and receive emails that are coded to make sure that a surveillance agent or thief that intercepts your email can’t read it, check out the email self defense guide. If you wish to stay completely anonymous online, please see the PDF guide How to remain anonymous online?
Matomo (Piwik) is the leading self-hosted, privacy compliant, decentralized, modern & Free (GPL License) web analytics platform, a building block of the free and open Internet. By using Matomo and configuring a few options as explained in this guide, I will ensure that all of your valuable information is private and shared only by one person (me!) and that my website also, just as importantly, respects your privacy.
If you however still feel the wish to opt-out Matomo please uncheck the box below:
