Feature Requests

The current Matomo plugin does not comply to the GDPR, as it uses cookies without user consent.

Describe the solution you’d like
An optimal solution would be a cookie consent banner. Another option, which is far less intrusive and still seems to comply (according to Matomo Cookieless Tracking - Analytics Platform - Matomo) is the use of Cookie-less tracking and pseudonymization of the tracked data.
For this, only a short line needs to be inserted in the javascript tracking code.
This injection could be made optional using a checkbox on the plugin’s settings page.

Who is asking for this feature?
Journal Administrators, Developers, Technical Support, Financing Institutions (all who need web statistics that comply to the GDPR)
