Matomo Analytics

Matomo Analytics (formerly Piwik) is an open-source web analytics platform that provides a privacy-focused alternative to Google Analytics. It gives organizations full ownership and control of their analytics data by allowing self-hosted deployment on their own servers or offering cloud-hosted options. Matomo tracks visitor behavior, traffic sources, conversions, and user journeys while respecting privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA. The platform offers features such as heatmaps, session recordings, A/B testing, and custom event tracking to understand user engagement. Matomo can be configured to anonymize IP addresses, respect Do Not Track headers, and provide users with opt-out mechanisms. It supports unlimited websites, users, and data retention periods without sampling limitations. The analytics interface provides customizable dashboards, real-time reports, and API access for integrating data into other business intelligence tools.
