While metriken.ai is designed to monitor website usage, we achieve this without gathering any personal data or personally identifiable information (PII), without employing cookies, and while maintaining the privacy of your site's visitors. To further explain our data policy, we will outline the data we collect, what we use it for, and the steps we've taken to comply with the GDPR, PECR, and cookie laws.
At metriken.ai, we prioritize privacy. We do not track users across different devices or sites, which means we cannot identify if the same person visits a site from multiple devices or visits other sites. Our web analytics tool is designed with privacy in mind.
To accurately count unique users, we generate a session ID. The session ID generation method prioritizes user privacy by employing a privacy-friendly approach. It combines two pieces of information to create a unique session ID for each user's browsing session. The first part is the user agent string, which contains general details about the user's browser and operating system. This helps in distinguishing between different browsers and versions. The second part is the current date, represented as a string in the format 'Day Month Date Year'. This adds a time-bound element, ensuring that the session ID changes every day. By utilizing these non-personal and non-identifiable pieces of information and applying a secure hashing algorithm called SHA-256, the code generates a session ID that is consistent throughout a user's session while safeguarding their privacy. This approach ensures that the session IDs are unique, stable during a browsing session, and respectful of user privacy by not relying on personally identifiable information.
