Enhanced Privacy Control: Matomo’s Guide for Consent Manager Platform Integrations

Contents

In today’s digital landscape, protecting user privacy isn’t just about complianceā€”itā€™s about building trust and demonstrating respect for user choices. Even though you can use Matomo without requiring consent when properly configured in compliance with privacy regulations, weā€™re excited to introduce a new Consent Manager Platforms (CMP) category on our Integrations page to make it easier than ever to implement privacy-respecting analytics.

Whatā€™s a consent manager platform?

Consent Management Platform (CMP) is a tool that helps websites collect, manage, and store user consent for data tracking and cookies in compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA. A CMP allows users to choose which types of data they want to share, ensuring transparency and respecting their privacy preferences. By integrating a CMP with Matomo, organisations can make sure that analytics tracking occurs only after obtaining explicit user consent.

Remember, you can configure Matomo to remain fully GDPR compliant, without requiring user consent.

Why consent management matters

  • Strengthen regulatory compliance
