External services
This plugin connects to the Savri Analytics service (savri.io or besokskollen.se, selectable in the plugin settings) to load the tracking script and send pageview data. This is required for the plugin to function, since Savri Analytics is the service that records and displays your site’s traffic.
savri.io and besokskollen.se are operated by the same company and provide an identical service. besokskollen.se is the Swedish-language interface and savri.io is the international (English) interface. You only need an account on one of them, and you should select the matching domain in the plugin settings.
What the service is and what it is used for
Savri Analytics is a privacy-friendly, cookieless web analytics service that records anonymous pageviews and aggregated traffic data (referrers, top pages, countries, devices). The plugin uses the service to track visits to your WordPress site and display the results in your Savri dashboard.
What data is sent and when
- Every time a visitor loads a page on your site, the plugin loads the tracking script from
https://savri.io/script.jsorhttps://besokskollen.se/script.js(depending on the domain configured in the plugin settings). - That script then sends a pageview event to the same domain (
/api/eventendpoint) containing: your Site ID, the page URL, the page title, the referrer, the visitor’s user-agent string, the browser language, and the screen size. - If you enable the optional tracking flags in the plugin settings, additional events are sent when the corresponding action happens on the page: clicks on outbound links, file downloads, form submissions, and scroll depth.
- No cookies are set, no IP addresses are stored, and no personal data is collected. Visitors are not tracked across sites.
