About software and different designs
Opt-Out
We do take privacy and your privacy seriously and we provide you and your users the ability to opt-out of any website that uses our tracking system.
If you are a website owner that uses our tracking services then, we highly recommend you to provide the following option for your users to be able to opt-out of the tracking.
The opt-out process is straight forward and can be done by simply accessing any website that has our tracking code installed and adding the following query parameter in your browser: ?pixel_optout=true
So if your website is https://domain.com/
and you have our USER MAP tracking code installed, you and your users can opt-out of the tracking by accessing the following URL https://domain.com/?pixel_optout=true
.
By doing this, we set a local storage variable in your browser that tells our USER MAP tracking code to stop and do not further execute. Clearing your local storage, changing the browser or running the site in incognito will enable tracking again as the Opt-Out variable is not set anymore.
How to add your website
The setup process is very simple and intuitive, here is how to do it.
- Make sure you have an account, you are logged in and that your plan is active.
- Go to the websites page.
-
Click the
Add Website
button and a simple form will appear. -
Fill in the
Name
of your website, a simple identifier for you. It does not matter to us what you write in this box. -
Select the protocol that your website uses,
http
orhttps
. We recommend usinghttps
and making sure your website has an SSL Certificate. -
Fill in the
Website
field with your website domain, subdomain or domain path. Ex: domain.com, subdomain.domain.com, domain.com/path.
How to install the tracking script
The installation process for our script is straight forward as it only requires you to place a simple JavaScript code in your website.
Afterwards, with this code, all your website visitors will load the script in the background from your website and give us all the needed details to do our magic and give you the analytics that you need.
- Make sure you are logged in to your account.
- Go to your websites list that you added.
-
Click on the
Tracking code
button and a simple modal will appear. -
Click on the
Copy USER MAP
button orselect and copy
the code from the textbox area. -
Place this code in the header of your website, right before the end of the
html tag.
-
Click on the
Verify installation
tab and then click the button. If you see an alert box saying that the USER MAP is installed, then you finished the installation process.
