## Description

[Trackum](https://trackum.app) by ARAVILO sets up website tracking for small businesses:
Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, Google Ads and Meta, tested and privacy 
friendly.

This plugin does exactly one thing: it adds your Google Tag Manager container to
every page of your website (in the head and right after the opening body tag).

 * Click “Connect now” under Settings  Trackum and it fetches the container of your
   Trackum order. No copy and paste.
 * You can also enter the container ID (GTM-…) by hand under Settings  Trackum.
 * No tracking happens through the plugin itself. What is measured is configured
   in your own Google Tag Manager container, which belongs to you.

### External services

This plugin connects to the Trackum service (dienst.trackum.app) to look up the 
Google Tag Manager container that belongs to your website.

 * When: only after an administrator asked for it, by clicking “Connect now” under
   Settings  Trackum or “Connect WordPress” in Trackum. If no container is found
   yet, it retries hourly for at most 7 days. Activating the plugin alone sends 
   nothing. Once connected, no further requests are made.
 * What is sent: the address of your website (home URL) and a random one-time code.
   The Trackum service then asks your website’s REST API (/wp-json/trackum/v1/pruefung)
   whether exactly this code is active, to verify that the request really came from
   your website. The endpoint only answers yes or no for a code that is sent to 
   it, never lists codes, and a confirmed code is used up immediately.

 * Privacy policy: https://trackum.app/datenschutz

On the public pages of your website the plugin loads Google Tag Manager from www.
googletagmanager.com, provided by Google.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin or install it from the plugin directory, then activate it.
 2. Go to Settings  Trackum and click “Connect now”.

## FAQ

### Do I need a Trackum order?

For connecting automatically, yes. Without an order you can still enter any Google
Tag Manager container ID by hand.

### What about consent?

Use Google Tag Manager with Consent Mode and your cookie banner. Trackum configures
this for you as part of the order.

## Changelog

#### 1.6.0

 * Connecting without a Trackum order no longer retries forever: the plugin stops
   asking after 7 days. “Connect now” starts again.
 * Settings page: link to the free Trackum check for your website.
 * Uninstalling also removes the strict privacy mode setting.

#### 1.5.1

 * Security: the verification endpoint no longer lists active one-time codes. It
   only confirms a code that is sent to it, and that code can be used once.

#### 1.5.0

 * Strict privacy mode (optional, only with the Trackum cookie banner): Google Tag
   Manager loads only after a visitor agrees.

#### 1.4.0

 * The plugin no longer contacts the Trackum service on activation. Connecting starts
   only when an administrator clicks “Connect now”.
 * Translations are delivered by translate.wordpress.org.

#### 1.3.0

   stricter checks of service responses, no caching of the verification code.
