Analytics
WordPress.com Stats
Data Used: IP address, WordPress.com user ID (if logged in), WordPress.com username (if logged in), user agent, visiting URL, referring URL, timestamp of event, browser language, country code. Important: The site owner does not have access to any of this information via this feature. For example, a site owner can see that a specific post has 285 views, but he/she cannot see which specific users/accounts viewed that post. Stats logs — containing visitor IP addresses and WordPress.com usernames (if available) — are retained by Automattic for 28 days and are used for the sole purpose of powering this feature.
Activity Tracked: Post and page views, video plays (if videos are hosted by WordPress.com), outbound link clicks, referring URLs and search engine terms, and country. When this module is enabled, Jetpack also tracks performance on each page load that includes the Javascript file used for tracking stats. This is exclusively for aggregate performance tracking across Jetpack sites in order to make sure that our plugin and code is not causing performance issues. This includes the tracking of page load times and resource loading duration (image files, Javascript files, CSS files, etc.). The site owner has the ability to force this feature to honor DNT settings of visitors. By default, DNT is currently not honored.
TBU NEWS is also using 1&1 tools, 1&1 site analytics and we are using Cloudflare to track the web site statistic only for reason to better serve you and to take care of our security and privacy.

What Types of Data does Cloudflare Process?
TBU NEWS is using Cloudflare to improve performance and Security. Cloudflare is generally just a conduit for information controlled by others, it’s Cloudflare customers and their users who control the content transmitted, routed, switched and cached across CF network (e.g. images, written content, graphics etc.). Additionally, Cloudflare may gather certain information regarding use of their customers’ websites, and process data submitted by CF customers or which CF is instructed to process on their behalf. While it’s not up to CF which data they receive, it typically includes items such as contact information, IP addresses, security fingerprints, DNS log data, and website performance data derived from browser activity. CF will process such data in order to provide the service to their customers and in accordance with applicable laws, including the GDPR. Cloudflare = CF
