Description

The goal of this issue is to create a Matomo Privacy seal / badge, that a website can publish, that will let users be informed on the settings of a given Matomo installation.

This campaign would promote both Piwik and privacy.

-> Goal is to make Matomo users showcase that they care about privacy, and respect their users, gaining trust amongst their audience.

Define what gets communicated via this seal:

  • IP anonimisation detected or not,
  • old logs deleted or not,
  • DoNotTrack enabled or not,
  • Notify if enable_fingerprinting_across_websites is set to 1 allowing fingerprinting cross websites,
  • whether cookie-less tracking is enabled or if cookies are used https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/issues/16258 or disabled...

See related feature to inform users in opt-out iframe: #2889 Maybe we could display the privacy seal in the opt-out iframe Maybe we could register our Piwik Privacy seal as an Open badge

Research direction
Review the privacy settings in Matomo (IP anonymization, log deletion, DoNotTrack, fingerprinting) and how to check their values. Look at the opt out iframe in issue #2889. Design a badge that displays these settings. Consider implementing as a plugin. Explore Open Badges standard for inspiration.
