Django Privacy Analytics

Django Privacy Analytics is a minimalist, performant, and privacy-focused analytics system that runs in your Django app.

Do Not Track

Django Privacy Analytics fully respects the 'Do Not Track' (DNT) header; if a request has DNT enabled, Django Privacy Analytics will not store a page view.

Installation

1. Install Django Privacy Analytics by running pip install django-privacy-analytics or adding django-privacy-analytics to your requirements.txt
2. Add privacy_analytics to your INSTALLED_APPS setting.
3. Add privacy_analytics.middleware.AnalyticsMiddleware to your MIDDLEWARE setting, ideally somewhere towards the end (and after AuthenticationMiddleware).
4. Create the new necessary models by running python3 manage.py migrate.
5. Optionally add a place to view the analytics by adding path('analytics/', include('privacy_analytics.urls')) to your URL routing configuration.

Access

Currently, the dashboard is only visible to superusers. This will be configurable in a future version.

Settings

In settings.py, you can set the following:

• ANALYTICS_IGNORE_PATHS: ignore requests whose paths start with members of this list
