dashboard

select “kabeq”

to limit focus on a partipular website

next step

there is currently no data available hence matomo is leading to instructions how to integrate the necassary code on your website

however, we don’t want to follow these instructions - to comply with GDPR the code cannot be active on any pageview - we need to get visitor’s opt-in first

use tag manager

on way to integrate the analytics tracking code on the website is to use the tag manager to implement a basic logic to activate and de-activate the tracking code instantly on selections made by the visitor

next steps to integrate the analytics tracking code will be shown in a seperate blog post
