With growing pressure and regulations, how can businesses balance respecting user privacy and compliance requirements with meeting their customers\u2019 digital experience needs and preferences?<\/p>\n<p>This guide is for product, marketing and compliance teams interested in or in the process of adopting a privacy-first analytics approach. Let\u2019s get into it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.cyiuvd7m1tvh\">What is privacy analytics?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Privacy analytics is the practice of measuring digital behaviour while minimising the collection of personal data and avoiding user identification. Instead of building profiles on individuals, privacy analytics focuses on patterns, trends and behaviour at an aggregate level.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It favours techniques like anonymisation, pseudonymisation, data masking, short-lived session hashes, limited retention and aggregation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The purpose is to understand how your website or app performs based on patterns that don\u2019t connect back to identifiable profiles. In other words, you learn which pages convert or where a funnel leaks, without exposing who an individual is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach contrasts with traditional toolsets, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/matomo-vs-google-analytics-comparison\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584300502&amp;usg=AOvVaw0qeHL6I3yvtO4Y7fKDme_-\">Google Analytics<\/a>, which rely heavily on third-party cookies, cross-site identifiers, granular profiling and broad data sharing. Traditional analytics tools grew up in an ecosystem where more data was always better. Today\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/privacy\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584300793&amp;usg=AOvVaw3g1W7XoXR6wym79o3SMPcD\">privacy-centric analytics platforms<\/a>\u00a0provide better outcomes for both users and businesses.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"571\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMDI0IDU3MSIgd2lkdGg9IjEwMjQiIGhlaWdodD0iNTcxIiBkYXRhLXU9Imh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGbWF0b21vLm9yZyUyRndwLWNvbnRlbnQlMkZ1cGxvYWRzJTJGMjAyNiUyRjA2JTJGaW1hZ2UzLTEucG5nIiBkYXRhLXc9IjEwMjQiIGRhdGEtaD0iNTcxIiBkYXRhLWJpcD0iIj48L3N2Zz4=\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Infographic showing key aspects of ethical web tracking including data ownership, user privacy, compliance, and transparency\" class=\"wp-image-98108\"\/><noscript data-spai=\"1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"571\" src=\"https:\/\/m-img.org\/spai\/q_lossless+ret_img+to_webp\/matomo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image3-1.png\" data-spai-egr=\"1\" alt=\"Infographic showing key aspects of ethical web tracking including data ownership, user privacy, compliance, and transparency\" class=\"wp-image-98108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/m-img.org\/spai\/q_lossless+ret_img+to_webp\/matomo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image3-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/m-img.org\/spai\/q_lossless+ret_img+to_webp\/matomo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image3-1-450x251.png 450w, https:\/\/m-img.org\/spai\/q_lossless+ret_img+to_webp\/matomo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image3-1-768x428.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Platforms\u00a0built for privacy\u00a0take a different path. Matomo collects first-party data, does not share it with third parties and gives organisations full data ownership. When configured correctly with a lawful basis, retention rules and consent where required, it supports compliance with data subject rights in the EU\/EEA while still providing clear, decision-ready reporting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more background, see Matomo\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/blog\/2025\/06\/privacy-friendly-analytics\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584301538&amp;usg=AOvVaw1DTC5a8CTxcscP-JE04m5U\">overview of privacy-friendly analytics<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before diving deeper into the topic, it\u2019s worth pointing out that the term \u201cprivacy analytics\u201d can carry one of two meanings:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Privacy-conscious web analytics, as described above. This type of analytics goes by many names and may also be referred to with terms like privacy-friendly, privacy-first, privacy-focused, privacy-by-design or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/blog\/2025\/10\/data-minimisation\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584301999&amp;usg=AOvVaw2jS2o8Teilo9FMd_IkyG4c\">data-minimised web analytics<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Privacy Analytics, as a proper noun, refers to a specific platform owned by IQVIA. As the name suggests, it\u2019s privacy-oriented, but instead of being a web or app analytics tool like Matomo, it\u2019s designed for deidentification of data sets primarily in healthcare and pharmaceutical contexts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.s9p6zp1svlu4\">What you can still track in a privacy-friendly way<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the biggest misconceptions in the industry is that privacy-first analytics provide less insight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In reality, you can still measure the core signals\u00a0that drive product and marketing decisions without personally intrusive tracking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with page views. Record the URL, referrer, timestamp and anonymised device traits. This will show where people arrive, how they navigate between pages and which paths end in a key action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Events work the same way. Define <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/faq\/users-flow\/what-are-interactions-in-the-top-paths-reports\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584303070&amp;usg=AOvVaw02gdG8cYoXR5oJmlrLr3Bz\">meaningful interactions<\/a>,\u00a0such as button clicks, video plays, outbound link clicks or downloads. Attach simple properties, like category, action, label and value. Because the focus is on behaviour rather than identity, you keep the context you need while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/faq\/heatmap-session-recording\/faq_24214\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584303404&amp;usg=AOvVaw2K_rESx-djSl813uXUolVH\">masking who performed it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, build funnels. A funnel is a series of steps, each defined by a page view or an event. For example, to purchase a product, the funnel might be:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add to cart<\/li>\n<li>Checkout cart<\/li>\n<li>Complete payment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can see step-by-step fall-off, run content or UX experiments and compare cohorts over time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To enforce privacy-friendly tracking, use first-party requests and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/faq\/reports\/user-id-privacy-considerations\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584304056&amp;usg=AOvVaw0xKHdCLFaWObRuK9St3GIY\">avoid storing persistent identifiers<\/a>. Techniques include short-lived session identifiers, IP masking and page- or campaign-level aggregation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Matomo supports this approach and even provides <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/faq\/general\/configure-privacy-settings-in-matomo\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584304323&amp;usg=AOvVaw2OKpjQVvoVEkga3efZeVnZ\">controls to disable cookies<\/a>\u00a0while keeping page view, event and funnel reporting intact. You can also set rules to drop or transform fields before they are stored and follow Matomo\u2019s guidance on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/faq\/how-to\/how-do-i-enforce-tracking-without-cookies\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584304569&amp;usg=AOvVaw3Z2QLLiVS4C4MaapwzQUN5\">enforcing tracking without cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Privacy note:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Website analytics may be governed by both privacy laws (e.g., GDPR) and by ePrivacy rules that protect terminal devices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the EU\/EEA, ePrivacy is technology\u2011neutral and can require prior consent for any access to or storage of information on a user\u2019s device, even where no personal data is collected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For an audit\u2011ready setup, log and manage consent states through a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/guide\/tracking-data\/consent-managers\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584305418&amp;usg=AOvVaw2v881VErdYSmfM3mrF32Nb\">Consent Management Platform (CMP)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outside the EU\/EEA, cookieless modes with strong anonymisation and minimisation can help to reduce consent requirements, but you must document your legal basis and comply with local rules.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.tncqx0xxpppw\">Pseudonymisation and anonymisation techniques<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pseudonymisation and anonymisation techniques play important roles in privacy-focused analytics. Both reduce risk and support compliance efforts, but it\u2019s important to understand their differences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pseudonymised data\u00a0has been stripped of\u00a0direct identifiers.\u00a0While this process means the data lacks directly identifying information, it\u2019s\u00a0still categorised as personal data under the GDPR because it could potentially be linked back to an individual when combined with other information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examples of pseudonymisation techniques include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Masking parts of an IP address<\/li>\n<li>Using randomised\u00a0visitor IDs<\/li>\n<li>Setting short-lived session identifiers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By reducing the amount of directly identifying information, pseudonymised data helps to mitigate business risks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anonymised data cannot reasonably be linked to an identifiable person. Examples include: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/faq\/introduction-to-page-analytics-reports\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584307117&amp;usg=AOvVaw0DvSNQU-bcaPIHKG_gRr4m\">aggregated page-level reporting<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/blog\/2024\/01\/funnel-analysis\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584307213&amp;usg=AOvVaw2qcpEVeRUcK2SAQ0bJ3ggx\">funnel statistics<\/a>\u00a0without user-level tracking, country-level or region-level geolocation and interaction heatmaps following privacy guidelines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Properly anonymised data is generally outside the GDPR\u2019s scope, but pseudonymised data remains personal data and must be treated accordingly; document your anonymisation methods and the rationale for your assessment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examples of privacy-preserving analytics include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Aggregated reporting:\u00a0Page-level reports and funnel statistics without tracking individual users.<\/li>\n<li>Geolocation:\u00a0Tracking down to the country or region level only.<\/li>\n<li>Interaction heatmaps:\u00a0These are used with strict masking rules, and no personal identifiers are stored.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Matomo uses pseudonymisation by default and generates anonymised data sets at the reporting level through aggregation.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.v4e3i1saseyx\">Data minimisation considerations<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When configuring privacy-first analytics, consider all identifiers the system may collect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IP addresses are a common focus point, but they\u2019re just part of the picture. Let\u2019s use the IP address as an example to consider what data minimisation options can be applied here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask a simple question first: Do I need to collect IP addresses?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In most marketing and product use cases, the answer is no.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/faq\/general\/how-does-ip-address-anonymisation-work-in-matomo\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584308942&amp;usg=AOvVaw3QKDzBOt9OZeWuSoFAwW9t\">IP anonymisation<\/a>\u00a0tools, you can mask part of the address to varying degrees.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mask the IP address entirely.<\/li>\n<li>Mask everything except the\u00a0high-level location details (e.g., country and region).\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This approach still provides enough location detail to\u00a0identify\u00a0market demand\u00a0and compare markets, without the unnecessary risk of individual identification.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your use case involves fraud prevention or security, document the legal basis, obtain consent where required and limit retention. These scenarios are typically separate from analytics and handled by security or infrastructure teams, not marketing.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.5oqfvno24y14\">Privacy-by-design across all data collected<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless of the identifiers involved (IP, device traits, session data):<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep compliance requirements in mind.<\/li>\n<li>Be clear whether you must ask for consent before tracking website analytics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that ePrivacy laws in the EU are triggered by data access or storage on a terminal device. It doesn\u2019t matter if personal data is involved or not. In strict ePrivacy\u00a0regions, you cannot track at all without prior valid consent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To take a minimalistic approach to data collection:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log only what you need<\/li>\n<li>Drop or transform unnecessary fields<\/li>\n<li>Use short-lived or randomised identifiers<\/li>\n<li>Avoid storing query strings that include personal data<\/li>\n<li>Aggregate and anonymise where possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Matomo offers various tools to support this approach by:<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.fuymn183mr64\">Ethical heatmaps and session recordings<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heatmaps and session recordings have a reputation for being invasive. This is because many tools record everything on a page, including typed fields, user data and internal screens. But heatmaps and session recordings can be privacy-conscious when configured correctly. With Matomo, you can:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mask sensitive fields,\u00a0so the tool never captures what is typed or displayed inside them. Common candidates include search boxes, sign-in forms, checkout fields, support widgets and any component that may reveal names, emails or payment details.<\/li>\n<li>Use CSS selectors to\u00a0target elements and set rules that apply site-wide or per page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use automatic masking for form inputs\u00a0to exclude\u00a0keystrokes and values from recordings and heatmaps. The result is a visual record of clicks, scrolls and movement that never exposes personal data. For setup details, see Matomo\u2019s guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/faq\/heatmap-session-recording\/data-masking-in-heatmaps-and-session-recordings\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584312624&amp;usg=AOvVaw2HaHfXYO_KM_7mj1pGF6kh\">data masking in heatmaps and session recordings<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Respect consent. Because of their nature, session recordings and heatmaps do not fall within consent exemptions under EU ePrivacy laws. Consent is required before you can enable them.\u00a0Matomo\u2019s step-by-step guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/faq\/how-to-enable-heatmap-and-session-recording-on-consent\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584313039&amp;usg=AOvVaw06iGKaOvSwOkW6J6c4y-4d\">enabling heatmaps after consent<\/a>\u00a0shows how to do this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sample instead of recording every session. Round out your\u00a0setup with the least collection. Exclude back-office paths, account pages and any route that could expose private content. Combine masking, consent and sampling to study user experience while protecting trust.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.oxfputf8hv3q\">Server-side tracking: More accuracy, less risk<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Server-side tracking routes analytics hits through your own servers before they reach the analytics platform. Because the requests come from your domain rather than a third party, common ad blockers and tracking protection lists are less likely to stop them. The result is steadier page views and event counts, fewer funnel gaps and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/multi-attribution\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584313834&amp;usg=AOvVaw1pdjL2U4vsysBIPZpF1sCJ\">more reliable attribution<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accuracy is only part of the story. With a server in the middle, you decide what leaves your environment. You can:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Drop fields that may include personal data, mask IP addresses, shorten retention and enforce naming rules\u00a0before anything is stored.<\/li>\n<li>Validate events, de-duplicate repeat submissions and queue retries when a user\u2019s device is offline, ensuring that key conversions are not lost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consent still matters. In strict ePrivacy regions, do not track without valid consent. A server endpoint helps you apply consent centrally and log the state for audits, but it does not replace the need for a lawful basis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Matomo supports both client- and server-side approaches, so you can pick the right tool for each job:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use the JavaScript tracker on the client for experience features like heatmaps, session recordings and on-page events.<\/li>\n<li>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/guide\/apis\/tracking-api\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584314960&amp;usg=AOvVaw0ocQkuoLEi9dFkqdLmeZxq\">Matomo\u2019s Tracking API<\/a>\u00a0from your server to record purchases, subscription starts or other backend events that should never depend on a browser.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many teams opt for a hybrid model, using client-side development for UX details and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/subcategory\/server-side-tracking\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584315259&amp;usg=AOvVaw31NDrNf5rdcIRk-Hv5t0OH\">server-side tracking<\/a>\u00a0for critical conversions and data governance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To implement privacy-first, server-side tracking in Matomo:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stand up a first-party endpoint.<\/li>\n<li>Forward validated events to Matomo.<\/li>\n<li>Apply transformations (e.g., IP masking, anonymisation, etc.).<\/li>\n<li>Add accepted event names to the allow list.<\/li>\n<li>Strip query strings that carry sensitive codes.<\/li>\n<li>Test parity between client and server counts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This setup reduces blocking, improves data quality and gives you tighter control over what you collect.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.73obhokzr23g\">Comparing privacy-focused analytics platforms<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The four platforms below reflect the range of privacy\u2011first analytics options available, from full\u2011featured analytics suites to lightweight, simplified dashboards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/plausible-vs-matomo\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584316957&amp;usg=AOvVaw3d9WYdkSxPYFnIwjNJ-57k\">Plausible<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/matomo.org\/fathom-vs-matomo\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1776169584317052&amp;usg=AOvVaw1_J-PMF9v58giB8Hbn77p_\">Fathom<\/a>\u00a0and Simple Analytics\u00a0sit to varying degrees on the simpler side of the privacy-focused web analytics scale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They\u2019re all cookieless-by-default platforms that are compliant with GDPR, CCPA and PECR.
