Your campaign tracking looks clean. Until the numbers stop making sense: More visits than clicks. Old UTMs showing up months later. “60 minutes on page”… that was really 3. This new MatomoCamp 2025 replay is live: "When users think differently: unexpected insights from user behaviour 🎥" In this session, Joachim Nickel from chop solutions joachim nickel, Matomo specialist since 2010, shows why attribution breaks, even with good intentions, and how to fix it with practical changes in Matomo. What you will learn: ➡️ Why one paid click can turn into many visits over days ➡️ How idle tabs, bookmarks, background reloads inflate campaigns ➡️ Why UTMs and MTM parameters should not live forever ➡️ A simple best practice: clean campaign parameters after first pageview ➡️ A better way to measure engagement time with focus and blur events ➡️ How richer events and cleaner links improve long term data quality If you rely on privacy friendly analytics, GDPR compliant tracking, or cookieless measurement, this one will save you hours of reporting chaos!

Today is Data Protection Day 🔐 Days like this remind us why privacy matters in marketing. Not a reminder about regulations or checklists. A reminder about people. Behind every data point is a human being with expectations, boundaries, and trust to give. Marketing works best when data feels like a choice, not something taken. When personalization feels helpful, not intrusive. Privacy isn’t what limits growth. It’s what makes relationships last. We shared a deeper reflection on why trust has become the real foundation of modern marketing here https://lnkd.in/eca5hrdC Curious to hear your thoughts: how are you building trust with customers in a data-driven world? #DataProtectionDay #PrivacyFirst #Trust #Marketing

Your analytics are safely stored in Matomo. Your team is using Microsoft Teams daily. And you’re probably stuck copy-pasting numbers between the two. We all know this situation: That “weekly performance” PDF you meant to share? Still on your desktop. That dashboard link in the channel? Buried under 200 messages. Someone asks “how did we do last week?” and you leave the meeting to pull the report. Context switching kills momentum. And it’s why insights get delayed… or ignored. That's why we bring you this news: Matomo now integrates with #MicrosoftTeams! Free plugin. Easy to set up. Here’s what changes when analytics arrive inside Teams: ✅ Marketing starts the Monday sync with campaign results already posted ✅ Analysts stop being the human API for every stakeholder request ✅ Leadership gets a clean PDF in the exec channel. No new tool to learn ✅ IT stays calm: reports are generated in your Matomo instance (no third-party processing) How it works: ✓ Install from the Matomo Marketplace (pre-installed for Cloud) ✓ Authenticate with your Teams workspace ✓ Choose where reports go (channel or chat) + when (daily/weekly/monthly) ✓ Pick the format: PDF for execs, CSV for analysts ✓ Optional: push alerts when metrics cross thresholds (via Custom Alerts) Get the free Microsoft Teams plugin now 👉 https://lnkd.in/egF-ac8v What would you automate first: weekly performance, paid media alerts, or your monthly overview?

A September misconfiguration in Adobe Analytics briefly exposed customer data across tenants, highlighting the risks of shared infrastructure, compliance headaches, and the ongoing operational fallout even after the issue was fixed. The incident serves as a wake-up call for organisations to reassess data sovereignty and governance rather than relying solely on cloud vendors. #DataPrivacy #AnalyticsSecurity #CloudRisk https://ow.ly/UZ8p50XQrbI
