  • The Guide to an Ethical Web : With Big Data Comes Big Responsibility

    13 mars, par Alex Carmona

    Roughly two-thirds of Earth’s 8 billion people use the internet for communication, education, entertainment, business and more. We are connected globally in ways previous generations could’ve never dreamed of. It’s been a wild ride, and we’re just starting.

    Many users have learned that experiences online can be a mix of good and bad. Sometimes, the bad can feel like it outweighs the good, particularly when large tech companies use our data shadily, cut corners on accessibility or act in any other way that devalues the human being behind the screen.

    As fellow internet citizens, what responsibility do we have to create a more ethical web for our customers ?

    In this article, we’ll look at ethical principles online and how to act (and not act) to build trust, reach customers regardless of ability, safeguard privacy and stay compliant while improving business outcomes.

    What is an “ethical web” ?

    When we talk about the ethical web, we’re talking about the use of the internet in an ethical way. Among other values, it involves transparency, consent and restraint. It applies the Golden Rule to the internet : Treat others (and their data and user experience) how you’d want yourself (and yours) to be treated. 

    With limited oversight, the internet has evolved in ways that often prioritise profit over user rights. While selling data or pushing cookies might seem logical in this context, they can undermine trust and reputation. And the tide is slowly but surely shifting as consumers and legislators push back.

    Consumers no longer want to buy from companies that will use their data in ways they don’t agree to. In 2022, 75% of UK and US consumers surveyed said they were uncomfortable purchasing from businesses with weak data ethics.

    Legislators worldwide have been taking part in this effort for nearly a decade, with laws like GDPR in the EU and LGPD in Brazil, as well as the various state laws in the US, like California’s CCPA and Virginia’s VCDPA

    Even tech giants are no longer above the law, like Meta, which was fined over a billion Euros for GDPR violations in 2023.

    These changes may make the internet feel less business-friendly at first glance, but ethical choices ultimately build a stronger digital ecosystem for both companies and consumers. 

    Likewise, all internet users alike can make this happen by shunning short-term profit and convenience for healthier, long-term choices and behaviour.

    As we dig into what it takes to build an ethical web, remember that no company or individual is free from mistakes in these areas nor is it an overnight fix. Progress is made one click at a time.

    Ethical SEO : Optimising your content and your ethics

    Content creation and search engine optimisation (SEO) require so much work that it’s hard to fault creators for not always abiding by search engine guidelines and seeking shortcuts – especially when there’s a sea of LinkedIn posts about how copying/pasting ChatGPT responses helped someone rank #1 for several keywords in one week.

    However, users turn to Google and other search engines for something of substance that will guide or entertain them.

    Content meets customer needs and is more likely to lead to sales when it’s well-written, original and optimised just enough to make it easier to find on the first page of results. This doesn’t happen when content teams dilute quality and waste a reader or viewer’s time on posts that will only yield a higher bounce rate.

    Some SEO pros do find success by building backlinks through private blog networks or crafting a million unedited posts with generative AI, but it’s short-lived. Google and other search engines always catch up, and their content plummets or gets penalised and delisted with every new update.

    Content teams can still rank at the top while sticking to ethical SEO principles. Here’s a sample list of dos and don’ts to get started :

    • Do put content quality above all else. Make content that serves the audience, not just a brand or partner ad network.
    • Do apply the E-E-A-T framework. Search engines value content written by authors who bring expertise, experience, authority and trust (E-E-A-T).
    • Don’t keyword stuff. This might have worked in the early days of SEO, but it hurts readability and now harms article performance.
    • Do use alt text as intended. While it can still help SEO, alt text should prioritise accessibility for users with screen readers.
    • Don’t steal content. Whether it’s violating copyright, copying/pasting other people’s content or simply paraphrasing without citation, companies should never steal content.
    • Don’t steal ideas. It’s okay to join in on a current conversation or trends in an industry, but content creators should be sure they have something valuable to add.
    • Do use AI tools as partners, not creators. AI can be an incredible aid in crafting content, but it should never be posted without a human’s touch.

    When we follow ethical SEO guidelines and get more clients with our content, how do we best handle their data ?

    Ethical data governance : Important principles and how to avoid data misuse

    Data governance comprises every aspect of how a company manages data, including storage, security, privacy, lifecycle management, setting policies and maintaining compliance with laws like GDPR and HIPAA.

    Applying data ethics to governance is doing it all in a transparent, restrained way that acknowledges an individual’s right to ownership over their data. 

    For organisations, this translates to getting consent to collect data and clearly spelling out how it will be stored and used — and sticking to it.

    If a user’s birth date is needed for legal reasons, it cannot be sold to a third party or later used for something else without explicit permission. Reusing data in ways that stray from its original purpose is a form of commingling, one of the data misuses that is easy for even well-intentioned teams to do accidentally.

    Ethical data governance also includes the vigilant safeguarding of users’ data and minimising potential privacy issues.

    Failing to implement and adhere to strong security measures leads to situations like the National Public Data (NPD) breach, where cyber criminals expose the addresses, phone numbers and social security numbers of hundreds of millions of people. This was due in large part to a weakness in storing login credentials and a lack of password policy enforcement.

    No one at NPD wanted this to happen, but security likely took a backseat to other business concerns, leading to the company’s filing for bankruptcy.

    More importantly, as a data broker that aggregates information from other sources, the people affected likely had no clue this organisation had been buying and selling their data. The companies originally entrusted with their information helped provide the leaked data, showing a lack of care for privacy.

    Situations like this reinforce the need for strict data protection laws and for companies to refine their data governance approach. 

    Businesses can improve their data governance posturing with managers and other higher-ups setting the right tone at the top. If leadership takes a firm and disciplined approach by setting and adhering to strong policies, the rest of the team will follow and minimise the chances of data misuse and security incidents.

    One way to start is by using tools that make the principles of data ethics easier to follow.

    Ethical web analytics : Drawing insights while respecting privacy

    Web analytics tools are designed to gather data about users and what they do while visiting a site.
    The most popular tool worldwide is Google Analytics (GA). Its brand name and feature set carry a lot of weight, but many former users have switched to alternatives due to dissatisfaction with the changes made in GA4 and reservations about the way Google handles data.

    An image of a spiderweb with a user trapped in it. A spider looks hungrily at the user to symbolise the relationship between the unethical use of web analytics data and customer harm

    Google is another tech giant that has been slapped with massive GDPR fines for issues over its data processing practices. It has run so afoul of compliance that it was banned in France and Austria for a while. Additionally, in the US Department of Justice’s ongoing antitrust lawsuit against Google, the company’s data tracking has been targeted for both how it affects users and potential rivals.

    Unlike GA, ethical web analytics tools allow websites to get the data they need while respecting user privacy.

    Matomo offers privacy protections like :

    We’re also fully transparent about how we handle your data on the web and in the Matomo Cloud and in how we build Matomo as an open-source tool. Our openness allows you to be more open with your customers and how you ethically use their data.

    There are other GDPR-compliant tools on the market, but some of them, like Adobe Analytics, require more setup from users for compliance, don’t grant full control over data and don’t offer on-premise options or consent-free tracking.

    Beyond tracking, there are other ways to make a user’s experience more enjoyable and ethical.

    Ethical user experience : User-friendliness, not user-hostility

    When designing a website or application, creating a positive user experience (UX) always comes first. 

    The UI should be simple to navigate, data and privacy policy information should be easy to find and customers should feel welcomed. They must never be tricked into consenting or installing. 

    When businesses resort to user-hostile tactics, the UX becomes a battle between the user and them. What may seem like a clever tactic to increase sign-ups can alienate potential customers and ruin a brand’s image. 

    Here are some best practices for creating a more ethical UX :

    Avoid dark patterns

    Dark patterns are UI designs and strategies that mislead users into paying for, agreeing to or doing something they don’t actually want. These designs are unethical because they’re manipulative and remove transparency and consent from the interaction. 

    In some cases, they’re illegal and can bring lawsuits. 

    In 2023, Italy’s Data Protection Authority (DPA) fined a digital marketing company €300,000 for alleged GDPR violations. They employed dark patterns by asking customers to accept cookies again after rejecting them and placing the option to reject cookies outside the cookie banner. 

    Despite their legality and 56% of surveyed customers losing trust in platforms that employ dark patterns, a review by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) found that 76% of the websites examined contained at least one dark pattern.

    An image showing a person frustrated at a computer with an evil smile on it to symbolise poor user experience caused by unethical web design.

    If a company is worried that they may be relying on dark patterns, here are some examples of what to avoid :

    • Pre-ticking boxes to have users agree to third-party cookies, sign up for a newsletter, etc.
    • Complicated cookie banners without a one-click way to reject all unnecessary cookies
    • Hiding important text with text colour, under drop-down menus or requiring hovering over something with a mouse 
    • Confirm shaming” users with emotionally manipulative language to delay subscription cancellations or opt out of tracking 

    Improve trust centres

    Trust centres are the sections of a website that outline how a company approaches topics like data governance, user privacy and security. 

    They should be easy to find and understand. If a user has a question about a company’s data policy, it should be one click away with language that doesn’t require a law degree to comprehend.

    Additionally, trust centres must cover all relevant details, including where data is stored and who does the subprocessing. This is an area where even some of the best-intentioned companies may miss the mark, but it’s also an easy fix and a great place to start creating a more ethical web.

    Embrace inclusivity

    People want to feel welcomed to the party — and deserve to be — regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, orientation or ability. 

    Inclusivity is great for customers and companies alike. 

    A study by the Unstereotype Alliance found that progressive marketing drove up short- and long-term sales, customer loyalty and purchase consideration. A Kantar study reported that 75% of surveyed customers around the world consider a company’s diversity and inclusivity when making a purchasing decision.

    An easy place to start embracing inclusivity is with a website’s blog images. The people in photos and cartoons should reflect a variety of different backgrounds.

    Another area to improve inclusivity is by making your site or app more accessible.

    Accessibility ethics : An internet for everyone

    Accessibility is designing your product in a way that everyone can enjoy or take part in, regardless of ability. Digital accessibility is applying this design to the web and applications by making accommodations like adding descriptive alt text to images for users with visual impairments.

    Just because someone has a hearing, vision, speech, mobility, neurological or other impairment doesn’t mean they have any less of a right to shop online, read silly listicles or get into arguments with strangers in the comment section.

    Beyond being the right thing to do, the Fable team shows there’s a strong business case for accessibility. People with disabilities have money to spend, and the accommodations businesses make for them often benefit people without disabilities, too – as anyone who streams with subtitles can attest.

    Despite being a win-win for greater inclusivity and business, much of the web is still inaccessible. WebAIM, a leader in web accessibility, studied a million web pages and found an average of over 55 accessibility errors per page.

    We must all play a more active role in improving the experience of our users with disabilities, and we can start with accessibility auditing and testing.

    An accessibility audit is an evaluation of how usable a site is for people with disabilities. It may be done in-house by an expert on a company’s team or, for better results, a third-party consultant who can give a fully objective audit.

    Auditing might consist of running an automated tool or manually checking your site, PDFs, emails and other materials for compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines list.

    Accessibility testing is narrower than auditing. It checks how accessibility or its absence looks in action. It can be done after a site, app, email or product is released, but it ideally starts in the development process.

    Testing should be done manually and with automated tools. Manual checks put developers in the position of their users, allowing them to get a better idea of what users are dealing with firsthand. Automated tools can save time and money, but there should always be manual testing in the process.

    Auditing gives teams an idea of where to start with improving accessibility, and testing helps make sure accommodations work as intended.

    Conclusion

    At Matomo, we strive to make the ethical web a reality, starting with web analytics.

    For our users, it means full compliance with stringent policies like GDPR and providing 100% accurate data. For their customers, it’s collecting only the data required to do the job and enabling cookieless configurations to get rid of annoying banners. 

    For both parties, it’s knowing that respect for privacy is one of our foundational values, whether it’s the ability to look under Matomo’s hood and read our open-source code, the option to store data on-premise to minimise the chances of it falling into the wrong hands or one of the other ways that we protect privacy.

    If you weren’t 100% ethical before, it’s never too late to change. You can even bring your Google Analytics data with you.

  • Tracking User Acquisition and Social Media Activity with Piwik

    25 avril 2017, par Florian Hieß — Community

    Being able to monitor user acquisition and social media activity is essential for determining whether the outcome of your campaigns is in line with the business objectives. Determining the source of each website visit that gets you closer to your business goals enables you to focus your efforts in the directions that are worth it. In this article you will learn why it is important to identify your traffic sources and how you can track user acquisition with Piwik Analytics.

    Why Is It Important to Identify Traffic Sources on Your Website ?

    Since brands nowadays use multiple channels for promotion and advertising, identifying the touch points and traffic sources of a lead or customer seems to become more and more difficult. And yet, this channel multiplication is what makes the source of a purchase more important. Once you identify the traffic origin and how each source is performing you are able to increase your efforts on the best performers, both in terms of human resources and monetary investments, to attract more leads or customers in these marketing channels.

    The default referrer types are defined by :

    • Search engine
    • Direct traffic
    • Websites and
    • Campaigns

    But consider that within the “Campaigns” type, each of the following referrers is a possible traffic source for your website and can be tracked with the Piwik URL builder :

    • Google AdWords
    • Display Ads, Banners
    • Links in Newsletters, Emailing
    • Affiliate links
    • Tweets
    • Facebook Ads

    Measure your performance and conversion

    With so many options, wouldn’t you like to know which one of them worked best ? To rate channels based on their performance, you first need to establish conversion goals and attribution.

    A conversion can be anything from sign-ups or downloads to leads, registered users and even paying customers. Define conversions based on what you want people to do once they’ve landed on your website.

    Piwik Conversion Goals

    You need to define each conversion type in the Piwik dashboard, so that the analytics platform knows what to track. As far as attribution goes, Piwik by default links the conversion and attributes to the last seen (non-direct) referrer. You are able to change that to the first referrer in the attribution line by following the instructions in this conversion attribution FAQ.

    Track Your User Acquisition Right with Piwik

    Using the Piwik URL Builder tool, you can tag each URL you promote in your campaigns using relevant keywords. Provided that your URLs are tagged, whenever someone clicks on them, the campaign will be listed as the referrer in the Piwik dashboard. Once you’ve generated trackable URLs, you can include them in your social media posts which could be planned and scheduled using a social media management tool such as Swat.io.

    Piwik Campaign URL Builder

    Campaign URLs work wonders for telling which campaign helped you reach your goals faster, more efficiently and so on but they do have a downside. They only work for URLs that you’ve shared. If someone decides to share a link of yours on social media they won’t be tagged beforehands. This is where the Referrers section of Piwik comes in handy, as it acts as a backup for tracking traffic sources. The overview tab features a graph that can help you identify when spikes occurred.

    Piwik Referrer Overview

    As well as a numerical representation of the main referrer categories for the selected time period.

    Piwik Referrer Overview

    Switching from Overview to Websites & Social, you can see a graphical representation of the social networks acting as referrers. The visualization can be changed to bar graphs or table, and can be easily exported in various formats for reports.

    Piwik Referrer Websites and Social

    The websites list features not only the social referrers, but all of the websites generating visits to your website. With Piwik you should not have issues with referrer spam, as the Piwik core team has tackled this problem early on, as detailed in how to stop referrer spam. Our analytics spam blacklist is a public project on GitHub.

    Piwik Referrer Websites

    Assuming that you’re relying only on Facebook and VK.com for your campaigns, as the above screenshot would suggest, you might want to give paid advertising a try on these two social networks. Paid ads can increase reach and engagement, can get more relevant visitors to your website and can have a snowball effect in a short period of time.

    What Social Networks Can Piwik Track ?

    Piwik’s built-in social network list is quite extensive, as it currently features 70 platforms. The entries range from popular social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to more obscure ones such as Renren. However, this list is not available by default, and to see it or alter it, you would need a third-party plugin.

    How Does the Referrers Manager Plugin for Piwik Work ?

    The Referrers Manager plugin for Piwik provides access to the list of search engines and social networks that this analytics platform can handle by default. The simple plugin can come in handy when sorting out referrers. First of all, it displays a list of all search engines and social networks that Piwik can handle by default. Secondly, it enables users to disable/enable the platform’s default social network list. And using Referrers Manager, you can add custom engines or social networks to the referrers list in case they’re not already available.

    Piwik Referrer Manager Addon

    Conclusions

    Piwik is a very capable analytics platform as it is, but combined with third-party plugins such as Referrers Manager, it can provide even better insights on where your visitors are coming from. Remember to correlate the referrers with goals in order to determine which website or social network performs best in your context. And don’t forget to assign a monetary revenue value to each goal, in order to determine your social media ROI with greater accuracy.

  • RaspberryPi HLS streaming with nginx and ffmpeg ; v4l2 error : ioctl(VIDIOC_STREAMON) : Protocol error

    22 janvier 2021, par Mirco Weber

    I'm trying to realize a baby monitoring with a Raspberry Pi (Model 4B, 4GB RAM) and an ordinary Webcam (with integrated Mic).
I followed this Tutorial : https://github.com/DeTeam/webcam-stream/blob/master/Tutorial.md

    


    Shortly described :

    


      

    1. I installed and configured an nginx server with rtmp module enabled.
    2. 


    3. I installed ffmpeg with this configuration —enable-gpl —enable-nonfree —enable-mmal —enable-omx-rpi
    4. 


    5. I tried to stream ;)
    6. 


    


    The configuration of nginx seems to be working (sometimes streaming works, the server starts without any complication and when the server is up and running, the webpage is displayed).
The configuration of ffmpeg seems to be fine as well, since streaming sometimes works...

    


    I was trying a couple of different ffmpeg-commands ; all of them are sometimes working and sometimes resulting in an error.
The command looks like following :

    


    ffmpeg -re
-f v4l2
-i /dev/video0
-f alsa
-ac 1
-thread_queue_size 4096
-i hw:CARD=Camera,DEV=0
-profile:v high
-level:v 4.1
-vcodec h264_omx
-r 10
-b:v 512k
-s 640x360
-acodec aac
-strict
-2
-ac 2
-ab 32k
-ar 44100
-f flv
rtmp://localhost/show/stream;


    


    Note : I rearranged the code to make it easier to read. In the terminal, it is all in one line.
Note : There is no difference when using -f video4linux2 instead of -f v4l2

    


    The camera is recognized by the system :

    


    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ v4l2-ctl --list-devices
bcm2835-codec-decode (platform:bcm2835-codec):
    /dev/video10

    /dev/video16

HD Web Camera: HD Web Camera (usb-0000:01:00.0-1.2):
    /dev/video0
    /dev/video1


    


    When only using -i /dev/video0, audio transmission never worked.
The output of arecord -L was :

    that's why i added -i hw:CARD=Camera,DEV=0.

    


    As mentioned above, it worked very well a couple of times with this configuration and commands.
But very often, i get the following error message when starting to stream :

    


    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ffmpeg -re -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 -f alsa -ac 1 -thread_queue_size 4096 -i hw:CARD=Camera,DEV=0 -profile:v high -level:v 4.1 -vcodec h264_omx -r 10 -b:v 512k -s 640x360 -acodec aac -strict -2 -ac 2 -ab 32k -ar 44100 -f flv rtmp://localhost/show/stream

    And when I'm swithing to /dev/video1 (since this was also an output for v4l2-ctl --list-devices), I get the following error message :

[video4linux2,v4l2 @ 0x1aa4610] ioctl(VIDIOC_G_INPUT): Inappropriate ioctl for device
/dev/video1: Inappropriate ioctl for device


    


    When using the video0 input, the webcam's LED that recognizes an access is constantly on. When using video1not.

    


    After hours and days of googling and tears and whiskey, for the sake of my liver, my marriage and my physical and mental health, I'm very sincerly asking for your help...
What the f**k is happening and what can I do to make it work ???

    


    Thanks everybody :)

    


    UPDATE 1 :

    


      

    1. using the full path to ffmpeg does not change anything...
    2. 


    3. /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 have access rights for everybody
    4. 


    5. sudo ffmpeg ... does not change anything as well
    6. 


    7. the problem seems to be at an "early stage". Stripping the command down to ffmpeg -i /dev/video0 results in the same problem
    8. 


    


    UPDATE 2 :
    
It seems that everything is working when I first start another Application that needs access to the webcam and then ffmpeg...
Might be some driver issue, but when I'm looking for loaded modules with lsmod, there is absolutely no change before and after I started the application...
Any help still appreciated...

    


    UPDATE 3 :
    
I was checking the output of dmesg.
    
When I started the first application I received this message :
    
uvcvideo: Failed to query (GET_DEF) UVC control 12 on unit 2: -32 (exp. 4).

    And when I started ffmpeg, nothing happend but everything worked...
