Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about MilkStats

Yes. No tracking cookies are placed, no IP addresses are stored, and no data

itself, lives only in sessionStorage (not persistent), and cannot be traced back to an individual. The only cookie the plugin ever sets is the optional opt-out cookie, and only if you or a visitor chooses to set it — that cookie serves no tracking purpose.

Not by default — administrator, editor, author and contributor are excluded. This can be changed under Settings.

Yes. Besides the role exclusion (logged in only), you can exclude yourself via the admin bar, the settings page, or the ?milkstats_optout=1 link in the browser you're currently using — handy for testing while logged out or to share with an external tester. See "Excluding yourself (opt-out)" above.

For regular visitor statistics, yes: that tracking runs via a separate AJAX request after the page loads, so a cached page is still counted correctly. The AI crawler report is an exception: that runs server-side (WordPress must actually run to see a visit), so visits from AI crawlers to fully cached pages (e.g. a "supercached" page with WP Super Cache) are missed in that report.

Deactivating the plugin (from the Plugins screen) leaves all data untouched — your tables and settings are still there if you reactivate later. Deleting the plugin (via "Delete" on the Plugins screen, which runs its uninstall.php) permanently removes every MilkStats database table (page views, sessions, session events, device stats, custom events, AI crawler hits) and every MilkStats setting. This cannot be undone, so export any data you want to keep (see the Export dashboard (.html)/CSV buttons on the statistics page) before deleting the plugin.

Yes, the plugin is deliberately kept generic: every site-specific choice (roles, segment, retention period) is configurable, not hardcoded.
