Privacy-Focused Google Analytics Plugin for WordPress
Cookieless Privacy-Focused Google Analytics is a WordPress plugin designed to enhance privacy by eliminating the use of cookies while utilizing Google Analytics. This plugin allows site owners to track user interactions without storing data in users' browsers, thereby simplifying compliance with GDPR and similar regulations. The primary features include the disabling of all Google Analytics cookies and the generation of a unique client ID for each page load, which does not contain any personal information.
The plugin functions by creating a hashed client ID based on various components like the user's IP address and browser information, ensuring anonymity while still providing useful analytics data. Users can easily install the plugin, input their Google Analytics tracking code, and configure settings such as the validity period for the client ID. This approach allows website owners to leverage analytics while prioritizing user privacy.
