 * Hi [@geogoucho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geogoucho/), thanks for taking
   the time to leave a review.
 * tracker.js is built for data protection. Here is what it does:
 * – It loads from your own website, not from our servers or any other company.
   –
   It sends page views only to your own WordPress site. No visitor data leaves your
   server. – It does not set any cookies. – IP addresses are anonymized and hashed
   by default, so the full IP is never stored.
 * You can check this under **Statistics → Settings → Privacy & Data Protection**.
   The Privacy Audit there flags any setting that could affect GDPR. If you use 
   a consent plugin (WP Consent API, Real Cookie Banner or Borlabs Cookie), you 
   can connect it on the same page. Then tracking only starts after the visitor 
   agrees.
 * More details: [https://wp-statistics.com/resources/avoiding-pii-data-collection/](https://wp-statistics.com/resources/avoiding-pii-data-collection/)
 * What made you worried about tracker.js? For example, a privacy scanner, your 
   cookie banner or a browser warning. Tell us and we will look into it. If this
   answers your concern, we would be grateful if you updated your rating.
 * Thanks again, we are here if you need anything else.

 * Hi [@geogoucho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geogoucho/), thanks for sending
   the exact message, that helps a lot.
 * “Loading failed for the <script>” means your browser blocked tracker.js before
   it ran. Ad blockers (uBlock Origin, AdGuard) and Firefox tracking protection 
   block any file named “tracker.js”, whatever it does. Nothing was sent anywhere.
   The script simply did not load.
 * To fix it:
 * 1. Go to **Statistics → Settings → General**.
    2. Turn on **Bypass Ad Blockers**
   and save. 3. Clear your page cache, if you use a cache plugin.
 * The script then loads under a random name from your own site, so blockers stop
   catching it. The **Tracker Debugger** under Statistics will confirm it loads.

 * If the error stays after that, tell us your browser and any blocker add-on you
   use, and we will look into it.

 * there are two ‘tracker.min.js’ and ‘tracker.js’ files inside assets/js and both
   seemeed to be minified.
 * It would be great to get a readable version, so that i can understand what they
   are doing.

 * Hi [@geogoucho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geogoucho/), thanks for looking
   into this closely.
 * You are right, both files are minified. Only `tracker.js` is loaded on your site.`
   tracker.min.js` was an old leftover that nothing loads anymore. We have removed
   it, and the change goes out in the next version soon: [https://github.com/wp-statistics/wp-statistics/commit/7aef2ce2016709dc9e73d36e468414c66054414f](https://github.com/wp-statistics/wp-statistics/commit/7aef2ce2016709dc9e73d36e468414c66054414f)
 * `tracker.js` is built from three readable files, already in your plugin folder
   under `wp-content/plugins/wp-statistics/assets/dev/javascript/`:
 * – `user-tracker.js`: sends the page view
    – `event-tracker.js`: link clicks and
   downloads, only when the Data Plus or Marketing add-on is active – `tracker.js`:
   starts tracking and checks consent plugins
 * Same files on GitHub: [https://github.com/wp-statistics/wp-statistics/tree/master/assets/dev/javascript](https://github.com/wp-statistics/wp-statistics/tree/master/assets/dev/javascript)
 * In short: it sends one request with the page view to your own site (REST API 
   or `admin-ajax.php`) and nothing to any other server. It sets no cookies.
 * Happy to help if anything in the code is unclear.
