Disable tracking for own visits

Support & Bugs

Hi

Can I disable that Piwik tracks my own visits on my websites?

I visit my websites quite often to see if everything is ok but I don’t want that my visits get tracked.

Not at the moment.

Hi,
if you have a PHP site with login, you can include the piwik tracking code block in a condition like

<?php
if ($user != 'you!!!') {
?>
---Piwik code here!---
<?php
}
?>

So only your first visit (as ‘guest’ before login) will be tracked.
If you have a static IP address, you can change the code for excluding this. This should exclude your clicks with 100%!

<?php
if ($REMOTE_ADDR != 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx') {   //insert your IP address
?>
---Piwik code here!---
<?php
}
?>
