howdy everyone,
I am new here and to Matomo. Well, not really… I HAVE been using The Matomo Wordpress plugin, along with the CookieBot plugin, for a few months now but apparently my implementation is not correct.
I went through all the guides, created a container and tags and triggers etc. However, whether visitors are tracked or not based on their chosen Cookiebot Cookie settings only works IF my Matomo Tracking Mode is set to “Auto”. If I change it to manual or “Tag Manager” it does not work. This wasn’t an issue since it WAS working at least, and respecting viewer cookie preferences, so I just left it on that setting. But from the looks of it the container, tags, triggers and variables were in vain since it works only on auto anyways.
However, now I am wanting to do use more of the potential that Matomo offers, and was wanting to track events (specifically, whether a button is clicked/form is submitted), so I came back to my container and added a new tag and triggers based on the button id etc. All “seemed” like it should work.
But, it does not work with the “auto” tracking mode and since, my original implementation did not work when set to manual or tag manager tracking mode, it obviously isn’t working with the new tag in the container either.
So, how are other people using cookiebot together with Matomo as Wordpress plugins, and NOT with the “auto” tracking mode setting?
