First, let me start by saying that I think this is a great plugin and one of the main reasons I have been using it is its GDPR friendliness, so I do not have to burden my users with cookies.
However, on the plugin’s settings page the following notice has now started to appear:
WP Statistics Notice: Server Side Tracking is less accurate and will be deprecated in version 15. Please switch to Client Side Tracking for better accuracy
This seems to go against any kind of current trend (see here for example) and also against everything I am standing for in terms of allowing readers to browse content-oriented sites (in contrast to e-commerce sites) in privacy and anonymity. Therefore I would respectfully ask the leadership team to provide some communication and clarification on this issue and whether I should expect having to switch to a different plugin for server side tracking in the future.
Kind regards,
Ulrich
