12. DO NOT TRACK
Yes, we do honor the Do Not Track (DNT) setting from browsers which support this.Do not track is a setting in a visitors browser which, after they enable it, it will tell the sites that they visit that they do not want to be tracked. Unfortunately, it is not very well supported by browsers as of yet but if we receive this header setting from their browser, we are honoring it!What if you want to track everyone and skip the DNT setting? It is possible to do that as well.
To ignore the DNT and to also track those visitors, simply add data-ignore-dnt=”true” like in the following example:
<script async src=”http://app.afterclick.com/pixel/12345678910111213″ data-ignore-dnt=”true”></script>
13. OPT-OUT
We do take our users and their visitor’s privacy seriously and we provide our users and their visitors the ability to opt-out of any website that uses our tracking system.
If you are a product owner that uses our software then, we highly recommend you to provide the following option for your users to be able to opt-out of the tracking.
The opt-out process is straight forward and can be done by simply accessing the website that has our tracking code installed and adding the following query parameter in the url:
?pixel_optout=true
So if your website is https://domain.com/ and you have our pixel tracking code installed, you and your users can opt-out of the tracking by accessing the following URL
https://domain.com/?pixel_optout=true
By doing this, we set a local storage variable in your browser that tells our pixel tracking code to stop all the tracking and not execute further.
P.S – Clearing your local storage, changing the browser or running the site in incognito will enable tracking again.
14. DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING
We at AfterClick aim to provide advance analytics for website owners and to provide those analytics we collect certain information from the visitors of that website.
In this case ‘Visitors’ are the users who open the websites with our pixel code installed.
– When the visitor first enters the website, an Unique identifier (UUID) is generated and assigned to that visitor’s browser, including other UUID’s generated for that specific visit session and page.
– We do not store information like the IP of the visitor for identification or do any fingerprinting.
– The IP address of the visitor is only used for detecting the country of the visitor and it is never stored in our database.
– Data collection can differ from website to website and their plans as we provide multiple types of analytics for our customers.
15. TRACKING
Like we specified above, our services provide multiple forms of tracking for our customers.
– Standard tracking where we only record visitors data, their sessions and their pageviews.
– Visitors Events tracking where we also track events like: mouse clicks, scrolls, browser resizing and form submissions.
– Session Replays where we track almost every event that a visitor makes in order to provide a high quality session replay for the website owner.
P.S – We do not store or collect data from type=”password” inputs.
