Software update: Matomo 3.14.0

Version 3.14.0 of Matomo has been released. Matomo, formerly Piwik, is an open source alternative to Google Analytics. It uses php and a MySQL database to do its job. The functionality can be easily extended with plugins, of which more than twenty are included. Of course you can also turn it off if certain functionality is not needed. For more information about Matomo, please refer to this page. The release notes for this release are as follows:

What’s new?

This is a maintenance release which includes a few minor improvements and bug fixes. The new feature is documented in the FAQs: How do I use Matomo Analytics without consent or cookie banner, and How do I track a visitor without cookies when they have not given consent for tracking cookies.

Also, the first line of the default JavaScript Tracking Code has changed and now reads var _paq = window._paq = window._paq || []; (You don’t need to do anything, any existing tracking code will still be compatible.)

We’ve been actively working hard on Matomo 4.0.0, and hope to have a beta release available in the next few weeks.

We are grateful for all community members who reported feedback and suggestions, our awesome team of translators for their work, and our Premium Features customers and Matomo Cloud hosting customers for their amazing support.
