• Understand your visitors by seeing where they click, hover, type and scroll, and replay their actions in a video

  18 mai 2017, par InnoCraft — Plugins

  Hi, this is Mike from InnoCraft, the company of the makers of Piwik Analytics which is used by over 1 million websites and apps in over 150 countries.

  I’m very proud to introduce you to our Heatmap & Session Recording feature which lets you analyze your visitors’ behaviour on a whole new level that was not possible before.

  With Heatmaps you can see where people think something is clickable but it is not, how far down the page do they scroll, whether they see your important buttons and Call To Actions, or even whether you can re-position your page layout to put the important content in more visible places. Both the mouse movements and all clicks are recorded and viewable on these new beautiful heatmap visualisations.

  With Session Recordings, you get to see a video showing exactly what a visitor did on your pages, including all mouse movements, scrolls, text typed in the keyboard, and more. Using these recordings you can improve the usability on your website, replace costly (and less effective) eye tracking sessions, and you can now see exactly what problems your visitors experience or how they behave on your website. This gives new insights and ability to understand what your users think.

  -> Read the rest of the story on the Heatmaps & Session Recordings Marketplace page.

• A Primer to Ethical Marketing : How to Build Trust in a Privacy-First World

  11 mars, par Alex Carmona — Marketing, Privacy, ethical marketing

  Imagine a marketing landscape where transparency replaces tactics, where consumer privacy is prioritised over exploitation, and where authentic value builds genuine relationships.

  This isn’t just an ideal—it’s the future of marketing. And it starts with ethical marketing practices.

  76% of consumers refuse to buy from companies they do not trust with their data. Ethical marketing has become essential for business survival. As privacy regulations tighten and third-party cookies phase out, marketers face a critical question : how can they balance effective, personalised campaigns whilst respecting privacy ?

  This comprehensive guide explores what ethical marketing is, the key principles behind ethical marketing practices, and practical strategies to implement an ethical approach that builds trust while driving growth.

  What is ethical marketing ? A comprehensive definition

  Ethical marketing places respect for consumer boundaries at its core whilst delivering genuine value. It prioritises transparent practices, honest communication, and fair value exchange with consumers. This approach represents a significant shift from traditional marketing, which often relied on collecting vast amounts of user data through invasive tracking methods and obscure policies.

  The modern approach to ethical marketing creates a foundation built on three key pillars :

  • User Control : Giving people genuine choice and agency over their data
  • Fair Value : Providing clear benefits in exchange for any data shared
  • Transparency : Being honest about how data is collected, used, and protected

  

  Key principles of ethical marketing

  Transparency

  Transparency means being clear and forthright about your marketing practices, data collection policies, and business operations. It involves :

  • Using plain language to explain how you collect and use customer data
  • Being upfront about pricing, product limitations, and terms of service
  • Disclosing sponsored content and affiliate relationships
  • Making privacy policies accessible and understandable

  When Matomo surveyed 2,000 consumers, 81% said they believe an organisation’s data practices reflect their overall treatment of customers. Transparency isn’t just about compliance—it’s about demonstrating respect.

  Honesty

  While similar to transparency, honesty focuses specifically on truthfulness in communications :

  • Avoiding misleading claims or exaggerations about products and services
  • Not manipulating statistics or research findings to support marketing narratives
  • Representing products accurately in advertisements and marketing materials
  • Acknowledging mistakes and taking responsibility when things go wrong

  Social responsibility

  Ethical marketing requires consideration of a brand’s impact on society as a whole :

  • Considering environmental impacts of marketing campaigns and business practices
  • Promoting diversity and inclusion in marketing representations
  • Supporting social causes authentically rather than through “purpose-washing”
  • Ensuring marketing activities don’t promote harmful stereotypes or behaviours

  Ethical marketing dilemmas : Navigating complex business decisions

  Data privacy concerns

  The digital marketing landscape has been transformed by increasing awareness of data privacy issues and stricter regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and upcoming legislation. Key challenges include :

  • The phase-out of third-party cookies, impacting targeting and measurement
  • Growing consumer resistance to invasive tracking technologies
  • Balancing personalisation with privacy (71% of consumers expect personalised experiences, yet demand privacy)
  • Ensuring compliance across different jurisdictional requirements

  Cultural sensitivity

  Global brands must navigate complex cultural landscapes :

  • Avoiding cultural appropriation in marketing campaigns
  • Understanding varied cultural expectations around privacy
  • Respecting local customs and values in international marketing
  • Adapting messaging appropriately for diverse audiences

  Environmental sustainability

  The environmental impact of marketing activities is under increasing scrutiny :

  • Digital carbon footprints from ad serving and website hosting
  • Waste generated from physical marketing materials
  • Promoting sustainable products honestly without greenwashing
  • Aligning marketing messages with actual business practices

  The benefits of ethical marketing

  For years, digital marketing has relied on third-party data collection and broad-scale tracking. However, new regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and the end of third-party cookies are pushing brands to adopt ethical data practices.

  Increased customer loyalty

  Ethical marketing fosters deeper relationships with customers by building trust. Research consistently shows that consumers are more loyal to brands they trust, with 71% indicating they would stop buying from a brand if trust is broken.

  These trust-based relationships are more resilient during business challenges. When customers believe in a company’s integrity, they’re more likely to give the benefit of the doubt during controversies or service issues. They’re also more likely to provide constructive feedback rather than simply leaving for competitors.

  Perhaps most importantly, loyal customers become advocates, sharing positive experiences with others and defending the brand against criticism. This organic advocacy is far more powerful than paid promotions and reduces customer acquisition costs significantly over time.

  Enhanced brand reputation

  A strong ethical stance improves overall brand perception across multiple dimensions. Media outlets are increasingly focused on corporate behaviour, providing positive coverage for ethical practices that extends a brand’s reach organically.

  Social conversations about ethical brands tend to be more positive, with consumers sharing experiences and values rather than just discussing products. This creates a halo effect that benefits all aspects of the business.

  This enhanced reputation also provides resilience during public relations challenges. Organisations with strong ethical foundations find it easier to navigate controversies because they’ve built a reservoir of goodwill with customers, employees, and other stakeholders.

  Competitive advantage

  Ethical marketing provides several distinct competitive advantages in modern markets. It helps brands access privacy-conscious consumer segments that actively avoid companies with questionable data practices. These segments often include higher-income, educated consumers who are valuable long-term customers.

  Ethical approaches also reduce vulnerability to regulatory changes and potential penalties. As privacy laws continue to evolve globally, organisations with strong ethical foundations find compliance easier and less disruptive than those scrambling to meet minimum requirements.

  Perhaps most significantly, ethical marketing supports more sustainable growth trajectories. While manipulative tactics might drive short-term results, they typically lead to higher churn rates and increasing acquisition costs. Ethical approaches build foundations for long-term success and stable growth.

  Patagonia integrates sustainability into its marketing, reinforcing its commitment to ethical business practices. By aligning with social causes, the brand strengthens customer loyalty.

  Apple : Privacy as a competitive advantage

  Apple positions itself as a leader in consumer privacy, ensuring data protection remains central to its marketing strategy. This commitment has become a key differentiator in the tech industry.

  Matomo : The ethical analytics tool

  Matomo offers privacy-first analytics that prioritise data ownership and compliance. Businesses using Matomo benefit from accurate insights while respecting user privacy.

  These companies demonstrate that ethical marketing is not just a compliance requirement—it is a long-term competitive advantage.

  Strategies for implementing ethical marketing

  Aligning marketing efforts with brand values

  Consistency between values and actions is essential for ethical marketing. This alignment starts with a clear understanding of what your organisation truly stands for—not just aspirational statements, but genuine commitments that inform daily decisions.

  Implementing this alignment requires cross-functional collaboration. Marketing teams need to work closely with product development, customer service, and leadership to ensure consistency across all touchpoints. When different departments send contradictory messages about company values, trust erodes quickly.

  Clear guidelines help marketing teams apply values in practical decisions, from campaign concepts to media placements. Regular ethical reviews of marketing plans can identify potential issues before campaigns launch, avoiding reactive corrections that damage credibility.

  Privacy-first data strategies

  Developing robust approaches to customer data is fundamental to ethical marketing. This starts with prioritising first-party data (collected directly from your own channels) and zero-party data (actively shared by customers through preference centres, surveys, and similar mechanisms).

  Measuring success doesn’t have to come at the expense of privacy. Ethical analytics provide accurate insights while protecting user data, ensuring compliance, and enhancing customer trust.

  Ethical personalisation approaches focus on using aggregated or anonymised data rather than individual tracking. This allows for relevant experiences without the invasive feeling that erodes trust when consumers feel watched across the internet.

  Most importantly, ethical data strategies create transparent value exchanges where users clearly understand what benefits they receive in return for sharing information. This reciprocity transforms data collection from exploitation to fair exchange.

  Measuring success ethically

  Traditional marketing measurement often relies on individual-level tracking across sites and platforms. Ethical approaches require adapting these frameworks to respect privacy while still demonstrating impact.

  Focusing on aggregate patterns rather than individual behaviour provides valuable insights without privacy invasions. For example, understanding that 30% of visitors to a specific page subsequently make purchases is actionable intelligence that doesn’t require tracking specific people.

  Incrementality testing measures campaign impact by comparing outcomes between exposed and control groups at an aggregate level. This provides more accurate attribution than traditional last-click models while respecting privacy boundaries.

  Server-side conversion tracking offers another ethical measurement approach, collecting necessary data on your servers rather than through client-side scripts vulnerable to blocking. This improves data accuracy while reducing reliance on cookies and browser storage.

  Implementing ethical marketing strategies : A practical framework

  1. Align marketing with brand values – Ensure campaigns reflect transparency and trust

  2. Leverage first-party data – Collect insights directly from consumers with clear consent

  3. Respect privacy and consent – Give users control over their data and clearly communicate its use

  4. Create value-driven content – Offer educational and relevant resources instead of relying solely on advertising

  5. Use privacy-compliant analytics – Switch to ethical platforms such as Matomo for responsible performance measurement

  The future of ethical marketing

  With the decline of third-party cookies and the rise of privacy regulations, ethical marketing is no longer optional. Brands that adopt privacy-first practices now will gain a sustainable competitive edge in the long term. The future of marketing belongs to brands that earn consumer trust, not those that exploit it.

  Key trends shaping the future of marketing include :

  • Privacy-first analytics to replace invasive tracking
  • First-party and zero-party data strategies for direct consumer engagement
  • Consent-driven personalisation to balance relevance and privacy
  • Greater emphasis on corporate social responsibility in marketing initiatives

  Companies that proactively address these changes will build stronger customer relationships, enhance brand reputation, and ensure long-term success.

  This is were the output stopped, instead of reading the video frame by frame, it stops here and runs indefinitely. I tried to use VLC and python script to read the rtsp url, but that didn't work.
I tried the alternative using GStreamer, but i couldn't install rtsp-server on Windows 11.

  


  Thank you for your time, any suggestion or answers are appreciated. The end goal is to convert a video to a rtsp url.
