Hi,
you can definitely configure Slimstat to not track client-side information. In order to do this, set the tracker to Server Mode and then enable Stealth Mode (that’s what the setting was called in versions prior to 4.3.6) or turn off Track Client Info (in version 4.3.6). This way the tracker will only track user agent, operating system and other server-side information (referrer, permalink, etc).
You can use SQL queries to delete the data from existing columns (please make sure you backup your data first!!!):
UPDATE wp_slim_stats
SET resolution = NULL
WHERE id IS NOT NULL;
Please refer to our knowledge base to find out what the table schema is:

As for using an external database on a separate server, you can purchase our premium add-on Custom DB:

Follow the instructions to configure it, or feel free to contact our support team at http://support.wp-slimstat.com if you have any questions.
Best,

Thanks for reply.
Because I’m using super cache plugin, I can’t set slimstat on server-side.
Unfortunately the person who I made the website for can’t afford buying the add-on.
Do I need this add-on for configuring slimstat on a second server?
If not, please help me to put the plugin on a second server, please.
I did use the query for resolution, screen_height and width and the columns are nulled, but I don’t see any change in DB size.
Unfortunately the person who I made the website for can’t afford buying the add-on.
I understand, however at this time that’s the only way to configure Slimstat to work with an external database. The other solution would be to install Slimstat somewhere else and then use the external tracking code (see Slimstat > Settings > Tracker) on your main site, by copying and pasting it in your theme.
HTH,
Jason
