Jimdo Creator: Consciously activate or deactivate statistics

Requirements

Access to the Jimdo Creator project and clarity as to whether visitor statistics are even needed.

Jimdo describes Creator Statistics as a cookieless, anonymized statistics system. It can be activated or deactivated under Menu → SEO → Statistics. For “We don’t save!” Disable is the clearest option if statistics are not needed; When used, the specific measured data processed remains to be documented.

Check

After the change, check browser memory, network connections and web server, proxy and application logs separately. A product setting does not automatically prove that no visitor IP is stored at all levels.

Basics of visitor recognition

For classification purposes, Cookieless is not automatically tracking-free and Use unique visitors without recognition . What is important is not just the presence of cookies, but also whether requests are merged via sessions, hashes, local storage or other features.

Reset

If the reduced configuration affects a required function, restore only the relevant setting and then recheck data flow, storage, retention and third-party connections.

Important: IP processing is not IP storage

An IP address has to be processed to establish and deliver a network connection. Hosting providers, firewalls or DDoS protection may also process or retain it for a limited time for security purposes. No Logging distinguishes this security layer from unnecessary persistent visitor logging by the website, application and ordinary access logs.
