Shop data and privacy: what is counted in each privacy mode

1 min read

Free. Shop counting keeps totals per day and per product. It stores no order number, no customer, no e-mail address, no postal address and no coupon code.

What is counted #

Product views, adds to cart, removals from the cart, checkout starts, coupons, failed payments and paid orders, per day and per product. A coupon is counted as an event; its code is not stored.

In each privacy mode #

  • Cookieless mode: daily totals only, no sessions. The Shop screen says so above the tiles (“Cookieless mode · Daily totals only (no sessions)”).
  • Full Tracking mode: the same counters. Pro: shop events (add to cart, checkout, payment failure) also show in recordings, only with the visitor’s consent.

How long it is kept #

Shop counters are kept as long as the raw data: see the Data retention setting.

Turn it off #

Opti-Behavior → Settings → Traffic & Behavior → Shop events: untick “Count shop events”, then Save.

Expected result #

You know which shop figures your site keeps, in your privacy mode, and for how long.

FAQ #

Do I still need a cookie banner? #

This depends on your site, your other tools and your country. Read the privacy mode article and ask your own adviser.
