Privacy and security compliance
Collect data with full respect for privacy and security laws, including GDPR, CCPA and HIPAA. Make compliance easier with an integrated consent and data request manager.

Get up to 70% more data without violating user privacy. Use software that ad blockers don’t stop and that lets you collect session-level data on visitors who decline or ignore your consent request.
Full control over data and its residency

The complete customer journey
With all privacy measures in place, analyze user behavior on websites, apps, SPAs and even secure post-login areas. No more stitching together data across sessions and platforms.

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”.
Ingo HauptCEO of Three Palms Media
“Piwik PRO was suggested to us by another company. They told us that it’s a stable solution and it’s possible to track detailed user paths. We used Google Analytics free in the past and we couldn’t track detailed data on the user-level, just on the domain-level. If we didn’t have Piwik PRO, we could only guess at the effect of enhancements we make”.
Lucky NgProduct Analyst at Inplay Matrix
“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.
