External services
This plugin connects to Yandex Metrica, an external web analytics service provided by Yandex.
Yandex Metrica is used only when the site owner enters a Yandex Metrica counter ID and enables counter output in the plugin settings. The plugin loads the Yandex Metrica tracking script from:
- https://mc.yandex.ru/metrika/tag.js
The plugin may also output a noscript tracking pixel from:
- https://mc.yandex.ru/watch/{counter_id}
When the counter is loaded, Yandex Metrica may collect visitor data according to the Yandex Metrica service terms and privacy policy. This may include information such as page URL, referrer, browser information, device information, IP address, cookies, and visitor interactions, depending on the Yandex Metrica counter settings configured by the site owner.
The plugin itself does not send analytics data to the plugin author. The data is sent directly from the visitor’s browser to Yandex Metrica when the counter is loaded.
