These are our settings

  • “do-not-track” is NOT enabled within configuration of the Matomo Tag Manager
  • The Opt-out-iframe from the general settings in privacy > opt-out is displayed on our website.

Unfortunately there ist a bug in the implementation of the opt-out:

  • it does check weather the browser sends “do-not-track” and in that case changes the information given and removes the ability to opt-out:
    • "Das Tracking ist bei Ihnen derzeit nicht aktiv, denn Ihr Browser hat uns mitgeteilt, dass Sie kein Tracking wünschen. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine Browsereinstellung. Um das Tracking wieder zu aktivieren, müssen Sie die sogenannte “Do Not Track”-Einstellung in Ihren Browsereinstellungen deaktivieren. "
  • but it does not know, that “do-not-track” is not enabled within Matomo (Tag Manager)

So these users can never opt-out and are always tracked.
Privacy wise really bad.

I don’t know, if this is maybe only since we implemented the Tag Manager.

Any help is appreciated
