What our customers say about us
“The main reason we switched to Piwik PRO was having everything managed by someone, not having to take care of the open source thing ourselves. The second most important thing, apart from the technical support, was having the peace of mind that we’re in good hands. We could contact the Piwik PRO team whenever there was something we weren’t sure of and we always got quick responses”.
“Piwik PRO is a good choice for governmental organizations. We have the confidence that the data we collect is really secure, with privacy controls properly set. The interface is straightforward, our analysts can quickly get all the data they need, and the API enables them to use the raw data to further deepen the analysis. The platform really allows us to grow into a more data-driven organization”.
“SimpleSite was getting around 200,000 sessions and events per day. With this amount of traffic, Google Analytics was sampling our datasets – that was a problematic issue. Piwik PRO support was very helpful during the implementation. They quickly and precisely answered all SimpleSite’s team questions”.

How does Piwik PRO track website statistics without collecting personal data?
Piwik PRO offers three methods for gathering non-personal data:
- Anonymous tracking with cookies and session data – collects session statistics without using any user identifiers. This method can be used as an alternative to opt-in tracking, when a visitor ignores or declines your consent request.
- Anonymous tracking without cookies, but with session data – collects session statistics using a fingerprint derivative without identifying users. This method can be also used as an alternative to opt-in tracking, when a visitor ignores or declines your consent request.
- Anonymous tracking without cookies or session data – collects event statistics without using any visitor or session identifiers.
All three methods are optional and serve as a great alternative to standard opt-in only tracking. For more information, read this article.
How does Piwik PRO allow you to connect the data from marketing pages, applications and post-login areas to recreate the full customer journey?
Piwik PRO gives you total control over your data as well as the instruments necessary to ensure its privacy and security. As a result, you’re able to safely collect unique user identifiers (e.g. email addresses) and sensitive data from post-login areas of your websites and apps (e.g. e-healthcare platforms or transactional pages). This allows you to recognize visitors across sessions and touchpoints to recreate their full journey. Read more about it here.
