However for your problem it seems more like a wrong manipulation. Mrx, if you think there might be a security problem, you should tell the development team.

They give away so they can collect information about YOU. Unfortunately, Piwik is a security nightmare. I set it up to track two websites and it was hacked ( the user table was reset to zero ) in less then 1/2 hour. Google analytics is a privacy nightmare.

Well, other than the obvious aspect of Google continuing to keep their Analytics software proprietary... Projects like Piwik give hope to the open source development community by providing alternatives against the big names... That's why some people would choose to NOT go with Google (among other big names). :) Thanks, - Josh Why NOT use Google?

Google monitor all your searches and where you go on the internet (adwords are on most sites) they time how long you are on a site before your next search. They also use analytics to monitor all sorts about you and where you browse. Also as a site owner you give google a HELL of a lot of very valuable info about your site using analytics. So it kinda comes down to - do you trust google? Do you care about who is looking at all your site stats? Personally I don't care, but I'm glad piwik is around if I did care :-) It's all about privacy and choice ;-) monk.e.boy BTW piwik charts are amazing ;-) Why NOT go with google?
