Protect your web analytics data and the privacy of your visitors

Description:
These days, user data is valued above gold. Thanks to this data, huge corporations can build a picture of each visitor's site. This data is valuable to us, but do we want to share it at the expense of our visitors' privacy? Switching from Google Analytics to Matomo, which can also be used on our own servers, helps us protect our users' data.
