Below is detailed information about each service, what data is sent, and when. Google Analytics This plugin loads Google Analytics tracking on your website when a Google Analytics tracking ID is configured in the plugin settings. It tracks page views across your entire website and also sends specific banner interaction data. What data is sent: Page view data for all pages on your website, user session information, and standard Google Analytics data. Additionally, banner-specific events including banner IDs, campaign IDs, view and click counts are sent both via the Measurement Protocol (server-side) and gtag events (client-side). When data is sent: Page view tracking occurs on every page load across your entire website when a Google Analytics tracking ID is configured in the plugin settings. Banner-specific events are sent both server-side and client-side when users view or click on banners. Service provider: Google LLC Terms of Service: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/ Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy Google Tag Manager This plugin uses Google Tag Manager’s gtag.js library to load and configure Google Analytics tracking across your website.

Banner events are sent in real-time when users view or click banners. Service provider: Google LLC Terms of Service: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/tag-manager/ Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy Google AdSense This plugin loads the Google AdSense script to enable AdSense functionality on your website. The script makes AdSense ad serving capabilities available but does not automatically display ads within banners.

What data is sent: Banner view and click data, campaign information, user interaction metrics, and page URLs (sent to your configured Matomo server). Banner events are sent both server-side via HTTP requests and client-side via the Matomo JavaScript tracker. When data is sent: Only when Matomo is manually configured by the user in plugin settings and analytics tracking is enabled. Banner events are sent in real-time when users interact with banners.
