I’m using SiteJet Builder via Plesk. The cookie banner concerning the Matomo stuff contains an opt-out checkbox. I read that this is not conform to German DSGVO and I’d need opt-in checkbox.
Is this correct and if this the case how can I change this or how can I omit the whole Matomo stuff?
Hey Clemens,
We do not have Matomo integrated with Sitejet Builder in Plesk. Are you thinking about adding Matomo as a third party solution?
Hi Andre, that’s good news since I wanted to get rid of it anyway. But then I am surprised that the following is written at the end of the generated privacy policy: “Ihr Besuch dieser Webseite wird aktuell von der Matomo Webanalyse erfasst. Diese Checkbox abwählen für Opt-Out.” This text I wanted to get rid of DSVGO requires me to follow an opt-in approach rather than a opt-out approach. We may continue in German if you like.
Well, the privacy policy is taken over from Sitejet Studio where we got Matomo included as an option.
I highly recommend this thread about some more info: Data privacy / Datenschutzerklärung - #2 by Ulf_Siemen
The topic is quite abstract and complicated. I am currently also working on a FAQ to give you a better understanding.
My personal view: In the end, it all got so complicated that I highly recommend a professional consultation for questions and specific tools for Cookie handling.
In general, of course, you agree with you, but in my particular case it we talk about a simple one-pager without a contact form and without custom elements. If the cookie is used exclusively to enable or disable Matomo web analytics, I see the following as a solution for my case:
