Piwik Analytics vs Google Analytics For the Sake of Data Privacy

Advertisement

Piwik Analytics vs Google Analytics does not stand to be compared. Users must understand the power of Open Source Software for Data Privacy. Many assumes that Google Analytics adds some sort of better SEO – its actually wrong. With more scalable servers, Piwik loads more faster, you can actually see the IP address in real time, it is not a Software as a Service like Google Analytics, no country will block Piwik Analytics Javascripts – ultimately everything is under your control.

 

Piwik Analytics vs Google Analytics : Why We Use Google Analytics

 

The question of using Google AdSense and Google Analytics  is not exactly the same. Google AdSense frankly tracks the fraud clicks and real clicks. We use Google Analytics mainly as an old habit of using a free analytics software. We often forget that, the theft and Spyware activities by the Governmental agencies is the truth. If you are looking for an interface which looks like Google Analytics then you might use Open Web Analytics not Piwik.

The fear of stolen privacy should be of more concern. Piwik is very easy to install, actually like WordPress or any PHP-MySQL software like we described here.

We can not stop using few things which are known to steal data of us and the users, but we should definitely opt-out where there is option.
