Remove Pop-up Message

nickterry · March 1, 2018, 11:42am

I’ve done a few searches but can’t find any information on this. Is it possible to disable the message:

‘Usage data will be collected with Piwik. You can use the Do-Not-Track settings of your browser to prevent this.’

that pops up everything you load a page from a website that is being tracked by Piwik?

Hi,

Piwik/Matomo doesn’t generate any popup messages on websites it is used on.
So this message has to be generated by the integration you are using.

How did you add Matomo to your website?

Ah, thanks for confirming. I’m using it with Opencast; I will check its configuration…
