Important: Anonymized Tracking and Piwik PRO
Anonymized Tracking
Some cookies, particularly in the Analytics and Remarketing/Marketing categories, use anonymized tracking. This ensures that no personally identifiable information (PII) is stored. The following anonymized data may be collected:
- User sessions (start and end times)
- Pages viewed and time spent on each page
- Traffic source and referral data
- Aggregated geolocation (e.g., country or region)
- Device type, browser type, and operating system
Piwik PRO as a Cookieless Tool
Piwik PRO supports cookieless tracking, enabling the collection of anonymized analytics data without relying on cookies. This allows for privacy-friendly tracking while ensuring compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Cookieless tracking uses fingerprinting techniques to generate anonymous session identifiers based on device and browser information.
