FAQ
-
Why did you build this plugin?
-
In January 2022 Google Analytics was deemed illegal in the EU as data would be sent to Google server’s in the US. this started our search for a more privacy focussed platform – we found Fathom Analytics.
In March 2022 Google announced sunset July 1, 2023 and data deletion (+6 months) of Google Analytics Universal, with no data being kept essentially forcing users on to Google Analytics v4. This only complicates matters for the billions of sites using Google Analytics, and does not deal with the privacy requirements of EU users.
With the push to find another solution, we started with Fathom Analytics, and saw that it required plenty of code to integrate forms and create events and conversions. Hence, with their support, this plugin attempts to make it easy for the non-coders to implement events with and Fathom Analytics.
