## FAQ

### Is Simple Webstats GDPR/PECR/CCPA Compliant?

Simple Webstats has been designed with user privacy in mind. It stores no cookies
or other data on the users device, and collects no personal data or personally identifiable
information from users. Data is stored in your own WordPress database rather than
being sent to third parties, and is owned by you. The data that is stored can only
be referenced to a randomly-hashed string of characters, not to a user, and these
hashes change regularly.

The plugin does not set any cookies or use any other means of persistently identifying
users.

We are developers rather than lawyers, but it is our understanding that this approach
is compliant with all of the various different privacy regulations such as GDPR 
and PECR. This should not be taken as legal advice, however if any lawyers would
like to audit our approach we would welcome the opportunity.

### Do I need to display a cookie warning?

Simple Webstats does not use cookies, so requires no cookie notices or user consent
dialogs.

Your site may use cookies for other purposes, in which case you should present users
with appropriate information and controls.

### What third party services does Simple Webstats use?

This plugin uses the [country.is](https://country.is) geolocation API to enable 
you to see visitor data by country. Requests are not logged and no personal data
is collected. For more information please refer to the [country.is documentation](https://country.is/).

To identify types of browsers and devices, Simple Webstats uses the excellent [DeviceDetector](https://github.com/matomo-org/device-detector)
library.
