• Piwik 3 Development Update #3 – Marketplace for Piwik Analytics

  13 septembre 2016, par Piwik Core Team — Community, Development

  This is our latest Piwik 3 development update where we present all changes that will be shipped with Piwik 3. Learn more about the exciting projects under progress in our Piwik 3 dev update #1 and dev update #2.

  The Piwik Marketplace is the place where you can discover & download plugins to enrich the functionality of your Piwik, and themes to change the look and feel of your Piwik user interface. In preparation for our Piwik 3 release we have made several improvements to the Marketplace :

  • Users can now view more information for a given plugin, such as a link to an online demo, a video demo, how to obtain support from the Plugin’s developer(s), and more.
  • Users can now view which plugins are compatible with the most recent Piwik version, for example view which plugins are already compatible with Piwik 3.
  • Plugin developers can now 1) promote their plugin better, 2) easily define requirement(s) for their plugins using composer.json version constraints (a best practise most developers already use) and 3) developers can define which files and directories should be excluded from the publicly available plugin zip packages.

  These improvements will make it easier for you to discover new Piwik Analytics plugins to achieve your goals.

  Marketplace now supports different Piwik versions

  You can now filter plugins by Piwik version to see only plugins that are compatible with your Piwik.

  
  
  
  When you browse the Marketplace in the Piwik app itself, you will automatically only see plugins and updates that are compatible with your Piwik.

  Better plugin preview

  Plugin developers are able to display screenshots for their plugins, and now plugin developers can also specify a demo URL and a video in the “plugin.json” file. Adding a video to your plugin allows users to get a much better understanding of what your plugin does and how a theme looks.

  

  Unified support page

  In the past a developer had to define the text that was displayed on the support page. This often resulted in blank support pages or developers only showed an email address. With this new update, links and other support information are displayed in a standardised way as specified in the “support” section of the “plugin.json” file. A developer can now define links to an issue tracker, a wiki, the plugin’s source code and more.

  

  License files

  The license name on your plugin’s page is now clickable and can show the license text for your plugin. To define a license text for your plugin, create a file named LICENSE, LICENSE.md or LICENSE.txt.

  FAQ and Documentation

  In the past a “FAQ” tab was displayed if such a section was present in the plugin’s readme file. This was hard to understand and sometimes ended up in long readme files. Now we pick up the FAQ content from a docs/faq.md file.

  For plugins developers who wish to provide a user guide(s), it is now possible to show a “documentation” tab to the plugin page by specifying a docs/index.md file.

  Changelog

  When you define a file named CHANGELOG, CHANGELOG.md or CHANGELOG.txt in your plugin, we will show the content of this file in a tab “Changelog” on your plugin’s page. Before it was needed to specify the content of the changelog in the readme file.

  Exclude files from the plugin

  If your plugin source code contains files that are not supposed to be present on a Piwik installation you can now choose to exclude files and directories from your plugin zip archive. When a user installs your plugin the excluded files won’t be there.

  Migrating your plugin for Piwik 3

  We recommend to all plugin developers to specify in the plugin.json file whether their plugin is compatible with Piwik 3 or not. If your plugin defines a “Changelog”, “Support” or “FAQ” section in the README.md file we recommend to migrate this to the new structure. Read more about this in the migration guide.

  Until our next Piwik 3 dev update, Happy analysis !

• 7 Reasons to Migrate from Google Analytics to Matomo Now

  15 mai 2022, par Erin

  The release of Google Analytics 4 (GA4), and the subsequent depreciation of Universal Analytics, has caused a stir amongst webmasters, SEO experts, marketers and the likes.

  Google’s Universal Analytics is the most widely used web analytics platform in the world, but from 1 July 2023, it will no longer process any new data. Google is now pushing users to set up GA4 tracking imminently.

  If you’re like many and wondering if you should upgrade to Google Analytics 4, there are two key reasons why this might be a risk :

  1. GDPR violations : recent rulings have deemed Google Analytics illegal in France and Austria, and it’s likely that this trend will continue across the EU.
  2. Data loss : users switching to Google Analytics 4 can’t migrate their data from Universal Analytics.

  To mitigate these risks, many organisations are looking to switch to a Google Analytics alternative like Matomo. This is an ideal option for organisations that want to take ownership of their data, get compliant with privacy regulations and save themselves the stress of Google deprecating the software they rely on.

  Whilst there are two major reasons to steer clear of Google Analytics 4, there are 7 reasons why migrating to Matomo instead could save your business time, money and peace of mind.

  If you want to avoid the pitfalls of GA4 and are thinking about migrating from Universal Analytics to Matomo, here’s why you should make the switch now.

  1. Keep your historical Universal Analytics data

  Users switching to Google Analytics 4 will be disappointed to find out that GA4 does not accept data imports from Universal Analytics. On top of that, Google also announced that after Universal Analytics stops processing new data (1 July 2023), users will only be able to access this data for “at least six months”. 

  Years of valuable insights will be completely wiped and organisations will not be able to report on year over year results.

  Fortunately, any organisation using Universal Analytics can import this data into Matomo using our Google Analytics Importer plugin. So you can reduce business disruptions and retain years of valuable web analytics data when you switch to Matomo.

  Our comprehensive migration documentation features a handy video, written guides and FAQs to ensure a smooth migration process.

  2. Ease of use

  Web analytics is complicated enough without having to navigate confusing platform user interfaces (UIs). One of GA4’s biggest drawbacks is the “awful and unusable” interface which has received an overwhelming amount of negative backlash online. 

  Matomo’s intuitive UI contains many of the familiar features that made Universal Analytics so well-liked. You’ll find the same popular features like Visitors, Behaviour, and Acquisition to name a few.

  

  User Flow in Matomo

  When you switch to Matomo you can get up to speed quickly and spend more time focusing on high-value tasks, rather than learning about everything new in GA4.

  3. 100% accurate unsampled data

  GA4 implements data sampling and machine learning to fill gaps. Often what you are basing critical business decisions on is actually an estimate of activity. 

  Matomo does not use data sampling, so this guarantees you will always see the full picture.

  “My primary reason to use Matomo is to get the unsampled data, [...] if your website gets lots of traffic and you can’t afford an enterprise level tool like GA premium [GA360] then Matomo is your best choice.”

  With Matomo you can be confident your data-driven decisions are being made with real data.

  4. Privacy by design

  Built-in privacy has always been at the core of Matomo. One key method we use to achieve this, is by giving you 100% data ownership of your web analytics data. You don’t ever have to worry about the data landing in the wrong hands or being used in unethical ways – like unsolicited advertising. 

  On the contrary, Google Analytics is regularly under fire for controversial uses of data. While Google has made changes to make GA4 more privacy-focused, it’s all just smoke and mirrors. The data collected from Google Analytics accounts is used by Google to create digital profiles on internet users, which is then used for advertising. 

  Consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about how businesses are using their data. Businesses that develop privacy strategies, utilise privacy-focused tools will gain a competitive advantage and a loyal customer-base. 

  Prioritise the protection of your user data by switching to a privacy-by-design analytics solution.

  5. Compliance with global privacy laws

  To date, Google Analytics has been deemed illegal to use in France and Austria due to data transfers to the US. Upgrading to GA4 doesn’t make this problem go away either since data is still transferred to the US. 

  Matomo is easily configured to follow even the strictest of privacy laws like GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, LGPD and PECR. Here’s how :

  • Matomo’s opt-out mechanism lets users opt-out of web analytics tracking
  • You can configure analytics for data retention of raw data and aggregated reports
  • Users can anonymise IP addresses as well as implement other data anonymisation techniques
  • Matomo can respect DoNotTrack setting
  • Users can set up Matomo so it doesn’t process any personal data or PII (personally identifiable information)
  • It’s easy to set shorter expiration dates for tracking cookies
  • Matomo allows you to disable Visits Log and Visitor Profile
  • Users aren’t tracked across websites unless specifically enabled

  Matomo can also be used without cookie consent banners (unlike with Google Analytics, which will always need user consent to track). Matomo has been approved by the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL) as one of the select few web analytics tools that can be used to collect data without tracking consent.

  Every year more countries are drafting legislation that mirrors the European Union’s GDPR (like the Brazilian LGPD). Matomo is designed to stay data-privacy law compliant, and always will be.

  Stay on top of global privacy laws and reduce the time you spend on compliance by switching to a privacy-compliant solution. 

  6. All-in-one web analytics

  Matomo gives you easy access to Heatmaps, Session Recordings, A/B testing, Funnels analytics, and more right out of the box. This means that digital marketing, UX and procurement teams won’t need to set up and manage multiple tools for behavioural analytics – it’s all in one place.

  Learn more about your audience, save money and reduce complexity by switching to an all-in-one analytics solution.

  Check out Matomo’s extensive product features.

  7. Tag Manager built-in

  Unlike GA4, the Matomo Tag Manager comes built-in for an efficient and consistent user experience. Matomo Tag Manager offers a pain-free solution for embedding tracking codes on your website without needing help from a web developer or someone with technical knowledge.

  Help your Marketing team track more website actions and give time back to your web developer by switching to Matomo Tag Manager.

  Final Thoughts

  Google Analytics is free to use, but the surrounding legal issues with the platform and implications of switching to GA4 will make migrating a tough choice for many businesses. 

  Now is the chance for organisations to step away from the advertising tech giant, take ownership of web analytics data and get compliant. Switch to the leading Google Analytics alternative and see why over 1 million websites choose Matomo for their web analytics.
