Tracking
Tweaking website traffic data collection
The Tracking node contains functionality related to the collection of data about website traffic.
The settings available are:
Setting | Use | Note |
---|---|---|
Enable tracking | Check to enable tracking | |
Session expiration | The time in minutes the visitor has to be inactive before a new tracking session starts | |
Returning visitor expiration | The time in days between visits before the visitor is tracked as a returning | |
Do not track personal information | Anonymize IP address by removing last digit: 192.168.1.* to comply with GDPR requirements | |
Do not track visits with DNT header | Skip tracking of visitors where DNT (Do Not Track) header is set to 1 to respect user preferences | |
Tracking level | Sets which visits to track depending on their classification as a real visitor VS a bot visitor based on user agent detection | Choose between: Do not track 'accept=/' header, Do not track 'accept=close' header or Do not track where header count <= (Min header count) |
Min header count | The minimum required number of headers before the visitor is classified as a real visitor | Most "real" request contains at least 5 headers, so requests with fewer headers are typically bots or other non-human actors |
Do not track internal IP addresses | Skips tracking of visitors with IP addresses specified in internal IP addresses | |
Internal IP addresses | List of IP's not to track | E.g. 192.168.1.255, 192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.90 |
Store ignored visits | For debugging - will track all visits regardless of above settings and mark all visits as excluded with information on the failed test | |
Enable logging | Log tracking exceptions to Event Viewer | |
Table time interval | How often to create new tracking database table to avoid tables with too many records |
