• Switch to Matomo for WordPress from Google Analytics

  10 mars 2020, par Joselyn Khor — Plugins, Privacy
  While Google Analytics may seem like a great plugin option on the WordPress directory, we’d like to present a new ethical alternative called Matomo for WordPress, which gives you 100% data ownership and privacy protection.

  Firstly what does Google Analytics offer in WordPress ?

  When you think of getting insights about visitors on your WordPress (WP) sites, the first thing that comes to mind might be Google Analytics. Why not right ? Especially when there are good free Google Analytics plugins, like Monster Insights and Site Kit. 

  These give you access to a great analytics platform, but the downside with Google Analytics is the lack of transparency around privacy and data ownership.

  

  Matomo Analytics for WordPress is an ethical alternative to Google Analytics for WordPress

  If you’re more interested in a privacy-respecting, GDPR compliant alternative, there’s now a new option on the WP plugins directory : Matomo Analytics – Ethical Stats. Powerful Insights. 

  It’s free and can be considered the #1 ethical alternative to Google Analytics in terms of features and capabilities. Why is it important to choose a web analytics platform that respects privacy ?

  

  Risk facing fines for non-GDPR compliance and privacy/data breaches

  In Europe there’s an overarching privacy law called GDPR which provides better privacy protection for EU citizens on the web. 

  Websites need to be GDPR compliant and follow rules governing how personal data is used or risk facing fines up to 4% of their yearly revenue for data/privacy breaches or non-compliance. Even if your website is based outside of Europe. If you have visitors from Europe, you can still be liable.

  

  In the US, there isn’t one main privacy law, there hundreds on both the federal and state levels to protect the personal data (or personally identifiable information) of US residents – like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). There are also industry-specific statutes related to data privacy like HIPAA.

  To protect your website from coming under fire for privacy breaches, best practise is to find platforms that are privacy and GDPR compliant by design. 

  When you own your own data – as with the case of Matomo – you have control over where data is stored, what you’re doing with it, and can better protect the privacy of your visitors.

  At this point you may be asking, “what’s the point of an analytics platform if you have to follow all these rules ?”

  The importance of analytics for your WordPress site

  • Figuring out how your audience behaves to increase conversions
  • Setting, tracking and measuring conversion goals
  • Being able to find insights to improve and optimize your site 
  • Making smarter, data-driven decisions so your company can thrive, rather than risk being left behind

  Analytics is used to answer questions like :

  • Where are your website visitors coming from (location) ?
  • How many people visit your website ?
  • Which are the most popular pages on your site ?
  • What sources of traffic are coming to your site (social, marketing campaigns, search) ?
  • Is your marketing campaign performing better this month compared to last ?

  Matomo can answer all of the above questions. BONUS : On top of that, with Matomo you get the peace of mind knowing you’re the only one who has access to those answers.

• Guidance on Implementing Custom Designs and Background Effects for Videos [closed]

  23 septembre 2023, par Joel Smith

  I am currently developing a web application that allows users to upload videos on the frontend. The primary goal of my project is to enable users to add custom designs to their videos and apply background effects. I'm using Python for the backend to handle video processing.

  


  I'm seeking advice on the appropriate technologies, libraries, or approaches to achieve the following :

  


  

  1. Custom Designs : I want to provide users with the ability to overlay custom graphics or text onto their videos. What Python libraries or tools can I use to achieve this ? Are there any best practices for adding graphics and text to videos dynamically ?

  


  2. Background Effects : I need to implement the feature to add background effects to uploaded videos. How can I achieve this, and what are the recommended methods or libraries for background replacement or manipulation ?

  


  3. Shadow Effects : Additionally, I want to enhance the visual appeal of the videos by adding shadow effects to elements like text or custom designs. What techniques or tools should I explore to achieve this effect ?
4.Combining Videos : To apply background effects, I need to merge the uploaded video with a background video or image seamlessly. What is the best approach to combine videos and maintain video quality during the process ?

  


  


  I have already implemented the frontend video upload to the backend and would appreciate any insights, code examples, or recommendations that can help me achieve these features effectively.
