Overview

Many sites need to know how visitors behave, but sending that data to a third-party analytics service means giving up control over it. Matomo, formerly Piwik, is a free and open-source web analytics platform that lets you collect, visualise and analyse data from websites and apps on your own server. Matomo is a PHP and MySQL application you install on your own web server. After a short setup, it gives you a JavaScript tracking code to paste into the pages you want to measure, and reports are available in real time. Its features, including e-commerce, goal and campaign tracking, custom segments, geolocation and email reports, are organised as plugins, so you can add or remove capabilities as needed. Matomo is released under the GPL v3 (or later) license and is aimed at site owners, marketers and developers who want privacy built in and their data kept in their own database. A free cloud trial is also available for those who prefer not to host it themselves.
