• Piwik Analytics becomes Matomo to reflect Users’ Privacy Focus

  10 janvier 2018, par Matomo Core Team

  One of the world’s leading analytics software platforms is changing its name. Piwik is the sixth most-used web and mobile analytics computer solution worldwide. It is now changing its name to Matomo.

  The name change comes after 10 years of Piwik building its top analytics software, with great success. It is already used on over one million websites in more than 170 countries. Matomo will build on that success, and focus even more on privacy.

  ‘Privacy has become a huge concern worldwide’, says Matomo’s creator, Matthieu Aubry. ‘Privacy legislation is being developed in Europe, and we will be ahead of the game in being ready for those changes. We’ll grow in line with the law and regulation changes.’

  Matomo will lead the way in openness and transparency for its users. Its new name means honesty in Japanese.
  ‘Matomo will always be free and community-driven, just as Piwik was’, says Matthieu Aubry. ‘We have worked with hundreds of people to create the best open digital analytics solution in the world. We’re committed to giving every user full control of their data.’

  The change of name is appropriate as the Matomo platform moves into a new stage of growth. But for its community, little will obviously change. The same people will still be involved, and users will still get useful data to improve their own website. That data includes who visits their site, what they do there, how long they stay, and what they buy.
  Matomo is an all-in-one analytics solution that gives companies a 360 degree view of their users.

  ‘They can grow their business while still keeping 100% ownership of their data, and being fully compliant with privacy laws’, says Matthieu Aubry. ‘We’re more motivated than ever to building on that, so that Matomo stays ahead of the pack.’

  The platform can be fully customised with hundreds of plug-ins, integrations and configurations.

  Matomo’s updated website and new logo is now available on https://matomo.org.

• How to generate SDP file from FFMPEG

  29 octobre 2017, par MobilityLab

  So, I have been working with FFMPEG on a project that involves streaming video from one computer to another across the internet with RTP. I want to take that into ffmpeg and use ffserver to display it on a local network.

  As I understand it, you need to have a SDP information so that the receiving ffmpeg instance can interpret the RTP stream. Despite what webpages say, I can not find the SDP information in the information printed to the console.

  How can I force the transmitting ffmpeg instance to output the SDP information so that I can use it to configure my receiving end ?

  Right now, I am testing on Windows 7, but the final solution will be on linux.

  The command I’m running for testing is

  ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -i files\2005-SFSD-sample-mpeg1.mpg -threads 0 -r 10 -g 45
  
  -s 352x240 -deinterlace -y 2005.mp4 -an -threads 0 -r 10 -g 45 -s 352x240 
  
  -deinterlace -f rtp rtp://192.168.200.198:9008

  My ffmpeg information is...

• The new GDPR data protection regulation and potential consequences on Piwik

  7 septembre 2017, par Piwik Core Team — About, Privacy

  GDPR is a new data protection related regulation in Europe. GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation.

  The purpose of this European regulation is to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the European Union. This also includes entities outside Europe willing to do business with European citizens. GDPR is a set of processes you need to follow within your organization to protect the privacy of European citizens.

  GDPR will start to apply in May 2018. It is recognized to be dissuasive because of the potential penalty of up to 4% of the yearly turnover, in case of infringement.

  Many articles have been written about GDPR including our previous article. Few of them are explaining how it will affect web analytics vendors : this is what this article is about.

  Am I really impacted by GDPR if I am a Piwik user ?

  As Piwik can collect personal data, the answer is yes. Piwik analytics data is impacted by the GDPR.

  As GDPR is a general concept, we decided from the official guidelines to assume what will be the potential consequences on the use of Piwik.

  There are 2 potential scenarios we can identify :

  • 1 – You are collecting personal data with Piwik
  • 2 – You are not collecting personal data with Piwik

  1 – Personal data collection with Piwik

  According to GDPR : IP addresses, cookies, UserID are personal data.

  IP addresses are personal data, so you will have to anonymize them unless you receive explicit consent from the visitor. Please view the following article in order to learn : how can I anonymize IP addresses in Piwik ?

  According to GDPR, cookies are personal data too. But as all cookies are not created equal it may be possible that some need to require user consent whereas other not. Whatever will be the final decision, you can learn about the first-party cookies created by Piwik and how to disable all tracking cookies in Piwik ?

  User ID, you are impacted if the User ID you assign is specific to an individual or if you can cross the User ID data further and find back the individual personal data.

  Any extra personal data you may collect with Piwik, it could be for example : first names, family names, e-mail address… You are able to collect such data using custom dimensions, custom variables…

  What are the rules I have to comply with ?

  By collecting personal data, you will have to respect EU citizens rights, which include :

  • The possibility for them to view the data you collected on them
  • The possibility to rectify some data concerning them
  • The possibility to delete their data when they request about it

  As you can imagine, for the first obligation, you will have to export all the data. So if a user is requesting it, you will have to export the data linked to his IP address(es). It can be easily exported as a .csv file for example.
  In order to do that, just create a segment according to the IP address of the user who requested it and then export the “Visitor log” report.
  If the personal data is not linked with the IP address but other attributes such as User ID or a custom dimension, you can provide the same data export by using the segment function and filtering on the personal data field.

  The data edit and deletion process on Piwik is a bit trickier as it currently requires administration system skills. We are planning to develop a new plugin for GDPR compliance (which will be available for free on the Marketplace). This plugin will let you edit and easily delete data of a particular user. Currently you can delete a specific user’s data by accessing the Piwik database and directly delete the different records for this specific user.

  2 – You are not collecting personal data with Piwik

  Unfortunately it is not because you do not collect personal data that you will not be affected by GDPR.
  The details of GDPR are not confirmed yet and GDPR could involve enabling the DoNotTrack setting by default on all browsers.
  Yes, you read it well, by default, unless the internet user uncheck this option, Piwik respecting DoNoTrack would not be able to track any user. If one needed to collect data anyway, Piwik Log Analytics and server-side tracking can be considered.
