Matomo

Matomo is a privacy-first web analytics platform designed for organizations that want complete visibility into visitor behavior without sacrificing data ownership or privacy compliance.

Unlike popular analytics tools that can miss up to 40% of traffic through sampling or consent blockers, Matomo delivers unsampled data and first-party tracking that captures the full picture. You get accurate metrics on pages, traffic sources, conversions, events, and funnels. The platform also includes heatmaps, session recordings, A/B testing, and segmentation so you can see not just what visitors do, but where they drop off and what drives action.

Matomo is built for teams that need GDPR compliance without compromising insight. It offers cookieless tracking, data anonymization, access controls, and audit logs to meet privacy regulations. You maintain 100% ownership of your data, whether you host it on-premise or use Matomo's cloud service. There's no lock-in and no vendor control over your analytics.

Key capabilities:

• Unsampled data - see complete visitor activity without sampling bias
• Privacy compliance - GDPR-ready with cookieless tracking and data anonymization
• Full data ownership - host on-premise or in the cloud, export raw data anytime
• Visitor behavior - track pages, traffic sources, conversions, funnels, flows, and segments
• Session insights - heatmaps and recordings show how users navigate and where they struggle
• AI traffic tracking - separate human from AI bot traffic and understand how AI tools use your content
• Easy setup - add one line of JavaScript, or use WordPress, Google Tag Manager, or 100+ integrations
• Team-friendly - intuitive dashboard and reports designed for non-technical users

Matomo works for enterprises, public sector organizations, and smaller teams. It's open-source and ISO 27001 certified. You can start with a 21-day free cloud trial or self-host for free indefinitely, with no credit card required. If you're switching from Google Analytics, you can import your historical data and continue without losing context.
