   The Domain Settings page opens.

6. Click Save and close to save the changes and close the page.

Cookieless tracking¶

The Statistics module normally applies a cookie to the browser of the visitor. It is possible to remove this so that the scan can still track the same data from visitors who refuse Statistics cookies on the cookie banner.

See the Setup section of this article for instructions on how to turn on Cookieless tracking.

To set up Cookieless Tracking manually, see the instructions in the Developers section:

• Script tracking

Copy the script¶

When all of the features and modules are set up, copy the script and add it to the HTML code of the website. In the HTML editor, paste the script into the HEAD tag or place it before the </body> tag on every page.
