Include Matomo Opt-Out Feature as content element¶
Once the Matomo Tracking is active, it is recommended to include the Matomo Opt-out feature on your website. For this purpose, the extension allows editors to add the Opt-out frontend plugin on a page (typically the privacy policy page), and thus provides visitors with the choice of opting-out of Matomo Web Analytics.
To add the Matomo Opt-out iframe on a page, just insert a new content element, go to the plugin section and find Matomo opt-out.
Change the Language of the Matomo Opt-out content¶
If you need to change the language of the opt-out iframe for your localized content, all you need to do is change the language in the Plugin Option Language.
The selection of “Default” means:
- The opt-out option is displayed in the default language of Matomo.
- If your website uses TypoScript to set the current language key (see config.language property), then the plugin requests the opt-out content in the corresponding translation. If the translation is not provided by Matomo, the default language of Matomo is used.
Once the Basic configuration has been made, the plugin calls the Matomo LanguagesManager API to access existing Matomo translations. If you want to translate the opt-out plugin explicitly, you can select the appropriate language key here.
Further options¶
A simple but effective approach to getting in-depth information for your web analytics data is by notes about what editors are doing on the website. In combination with datamints Webanalyse (please contact <service@datamints.com> for more information), the extension provides the technical basis for a communication with Matomo Annotations API. This is a great tool for success control:
- Internal notes from TYPO3 BE users can be transferred to Matomo, where they are evaluated and inserted as Annotation. Use internal notes for cases like changed layout or gave out flyers.
- You can automatically add an annotation whenever you publish a news with news Extension (This concept can be replicated to pages and other type of content).
