Piwik Instead of Google Analytics "Data protection"

Who wants to use a web analytics system should resort to open-source solution Piwik advises the Independent Centre for Privacy Protection Schleswig-Holstein (ULD) and explains how Piwik can be used data protection.

Many of the frequently used web analysis tools are not rules in accordance with the law to bring, the ULD shares once more . This is especially true for Google Analytics, the Google website operators makes available free of charge, the privacy advocates, because Google's service in this country can not use data protection.

which the ULD, which has prompted the use of Google Analytics to refrain from website owners, had been "the continued use of Google Analytics waived and asked the company, to delete personal data stored there" , the ULD on. In addition, we have Google, the lead developer for Analytics, the existing data protection concerns, including presents. Google has so far done nothing but.

However, the ULD is limited in its current position not only to pointing out what does not work, but also made ​​a recommendation, as the subject of web analytics data protection compliant to implement it. The answer is Piwik . The open-source solutions are the same as Google Analytics for free and have the advantage that the processing of data is not that of any other place or at a processing order data held in, but on the servers of the website provider itself, the turn is then but with costs connected to the website operator.

The ULD explained in detail how Piwik can be used privacy-compliant, but insists that the "positive assessment Piwik for the purposes of usage analysis [...] is not the product of a certification offered by the ULD procedures for the issue of certification of Schleswig-Holstein or European Privacy Seal equals " . So far there is no such certified analytical tools and no relevant procedures.
