<p>Simple process to create a ‘cookies are OK’ banner/button; assumes that site cannot be accessed unless you agree. Creates a privacy page based on US Better Business Bureau recommendations (your country might have different requirements). Also allows for use of Google Analytics via a server-side ‘post’, to allow analytics tracking if ad-blocking is enabled by the visitor.</p>
<p>Optionally, you can enable placing your Privacy Page link in the site footer.</p>
<p>This is not a very fancy plugin – it just does the basics: displays a notice,and requires the visitor to accept the terms. It ‘s for simple sites.</p>
<p>Optionally can add your Google Analytics (GA) code. GA process is run on the server side, not client-side. Many ad blockers will block client-side GA, which dilutes your analytics. Running GA on the server ensures that analytics are accurate. No personal information is included in the GA server-side process.</p>
<p>If you have a large site, or complex personal information retention or collection, you might want to find another solution. And ‘we are not a lawyer ‘, so check with your legal folks for guidance. We make no guarantees about the  ‘legal worthiness ‘ or afford ability or suitability of our plugin.</p>
<p>Note: requires WP 4.9.6, which contains the new Privacy code/supporting functions. The plugin will not activate if you do not have WP 4.9.6 installed (or PHP 5.3 or higher).  You also need at least PHP 7.4.</p>
<p>Disclaimer: This plugin may not provide full protection for your site, depending on how your site stores and uses personal data. We think our technique meets the basic notification requirements of GDPR, but you should consult with your legal advisors for guidance on what your site needs to do for GDPR compliance. Here is the ‘official’ GDPR site: https://www.eugdpr.org/ .</p>
<p>For reference:</p>
<ul>
<li>We use the code from the Cookie Consent site at https://cookieconsent.insites.com/ to display the Acceptance message and track user response (via a cookie) to the message notice.</li>
<li>For the generic Privacy Page we generate, we use the guidance from the US Better Business Bureau at https://www.bbb.org/reno/for-businesses/sample-privacy-policy/.</li>
<li>If you use Google Analytics, then you should be aware of their privacy policy, which could apply to your use of GA; see it here https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html .</li>

<p>We suggest that you consult with your legal advisor for specific methods and messages needed for GDPR compliance on your site. We provide no warranty or guarantee of GDPR compliance.

<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>This plugin does not save any personal information on your server. It will store cookies on your visitor’s browsers. If you have enabled Google Analytics (GA), GA is done on the server. GA data only includes the visited page, and an anonymized IP address. No personal information is sent to GA. No cookies related to GA are stored in the client’s browser.</p>

<p>Statify provides a straightforward and compact access to the number of site views. It is privacy-friendly as it uses neither cookies nor a third party.</p>
<p>An interactive chart is followed by lists of the most common reference sources and target pages. The period of statistics and length of lists can be set directly in the dashboard widget.</p>
<h3>Data Privacy</h3>
<p>In direct comparison to statistics services such as <em>Google Analytics</em>, <em>WordPress.com Stats</em> and <em>Matomo (Piwik)</em> <em>Statify</em> doesn’t process and store personal data as e.g. IP addresses – <em>Statify</em> counts site views, not visitors.</p>
<p>Absolute privacy compliance coupled with transparent procedures: A locally in WordPress created database table consists of only four fields (ID, date, source, target) and can be viewed at any time, cleaned up and cleared by the administrator.</p>
<p>Due to this tracking approach, Statify is 100% compliant with GDPR and serves as an lightweight alternative to other tracking services.</p>
<h3>Display of the widget</h3>
<p>The plugin configuration can be changed directly in the <em>Statify</em> Widget on the dashboard by clicking the <em>Configure</em> link.</p>
<p>The amount of links shown in the <em>Statify</em> Widget can be set as well as the option to only count views from today. Of course, older entries are not deleted when changing this setting.</p>
<p>The statistics for the dashboard widget are cached for four minutes.</p>
<h3>Period of data saving</h3>
<p><em>Statify</em> stores the data only for a limited period (default: two weeks), longer intervals can be selected as option in the widget. Data which is older than the selected period is deleted by a daily cron job.</p>
<p>An increase in the database volume can be expected because all statistic values are collected and managed in the local WordPress database (especially if you increase the period of data saving).</p>
<h3>JavaScript tracking for caching compatibility</h3>
<p>For compatibility with caching plugins like <a href="http://cachify.de" rel="nofollow ugc">Cachify</a> <em>Statify</em> offers an optional switchable tracking via JavaScript. This function allows reliable count of cached blog pages.</p>
<p>For this to work correctly, the active theme has to call <code>wp_footer()</code>, typically in a file named <code>footer.php</code>.</p>
<h3>Skip tracking for spam referrers</h3>
<p>The comment blacklist can be enabled to skip tracking for views with a referrer URL listed in comment blacklist, i. e. which considered as spam.</p>
<h3>Support</h3>

Statify


Simple an clean statistic plugin. Just works.


Just simple stats.


A simple stats package that runs on your own site, so you aren't sending visitor data to some third party service just to count page views. Not as full-featured as Jetpack Stats, but much more privacy-friendly! Good for the basic use case of "where are most of my visitors coming from and what are the reading the most?" Works with ClassicPress too!


Simple, privacy-friendly stats

Visitor statistics for WordPress with focus on data protection, transparency and clarity. Perfect as a widget in your WordPress Dashboard.
