On September 29 We're organizing another WordPress Meetup Fryslân! We've invited an inspiring speaker, and of course there will be plenty of time for hands-on help and friendly networking.
Guest Speaker: Rogier Lankhorst – Privacy and Statistics on Your WordPress Website
Cookie banners are everywhere. But did you know that they’re often completely unnecessary? With the right approach, you can do away with the cookie banner and collect statistics without tracking cookies, without having to ask for consent, and without violating your visitors’ privacy.
During this WordPress Meetup, we’ll dive into the world of privacy-friendly analytics. What does “cookieless tracking” really mean? When is self-hosted analytics a better choice than Google Analytics? And how do you determine whether your website even needs a cookie banner?
Rogier Lankhorst, developer of Burst Statistics (200,000+ active installations), walks you through practical examples: from collecting GDPR-compliant statistics to optimizing your website without compromising privacy. You’ll learn how cookieless fingerprinting works, why self-hosted solutions give you full control over your data, and how to gain insights from your statistics.
