Description
A simple plugin to add the Piwik PRO container (with tracking code) to your WordPress site, making it easy to collect visitor data from any WordPress site and automatically track ecommerce in your WooCommerce store. You’ll also be able to manage consents and run tags after using this plugin.
What is Piwik PRO?
Piwik PRO is a privacy-first platform that offers the advanced analytics features while allowing for full control of data. It provides flexible reports and data collection in addition to consent management, tag management and a customer data platform.
Analytics
Collect data across websites, apps, digital products and post-login areas. Customize how data is collected and analyze it with built-in audience, behavior, acquisition and conversion reports. Dive deeper with custom reports and access to raw data.
Tag Manager
Add flexible tags to your analytics stack without hiring an IT team to do it. Quickly create, test and deploy tags from templates or with custom code. Coordinate tag behavior with Analytics, Customer Data Platform and Consent Manager to fit any data collection approach.
Customer Data Platform
Build customer profiles, segment audiences and create insightful single customer views. Quickly populate the profiles using data collected with the help of Analytics and Tag Manager. Set up Consent Manager so data is only collected data when there is specific consent for it.
Consent Manager
Manage consents and data subject requests in the same platform where data is collected and processed. Categorize data from Analytics and Tag Manager so that the data collected always agrees with the consent received.

How to support the Content Security Policy mechanism?
-
Content Security Policy restricts third-party tools from loading codes on the website and allows to fetch only approved origins of content. To support Content Security Policy mechanism, you need to add a
nonce
value as an attribute to containers and scripts that these containers load.To add a
nonce
value add to afunction.php
file in yours theme the following code:add_filter( 'piwik_pro_nonce', function() { return wp_create_nonce( time() ); } );
For more information, read our article about Content Security Policy.
