Accessing Settings

In your WordPress admin, click the Statnive menu item and then open the Settings view in the left-hand sidebar of the dashboard. All configuration lives in a single page, organized into sections.

Privacy

• Tracking enabled — Master switch for all tracking. Enabled by default.
• Respect Do Not Track (DNT) — Honour the DNT: 1 browser header. Enabled by default.
• Respect Global Privacy Control (GPC) — Honour the Sec-GPC: 1 browser signal. Enabled by default.
• Consent mode — Choose how the tracker behaves before consent is granted. Options are cookieless (the privacy-by-default mode that fires hits without cookies) and disabled-until-consent (no hits until consent is recorded).

Data Retention

• Retention days — How long detailed stats are kept before the retention job acts on them. Range is 30 to 3650 days; the plugin defaults to 3650 (effectively forever) for new installs that opt into long-term history.
• Retention mode — What happens when rows pass the retention window. Options are forever (keep everything), delete (purge old rows) and archive (roll old rows into aggregate tables).

Exclusions

• Excluded IPs — One IP per line. Hits from these addresses are ignored.
• Excluded roles — WordPress user roles whose visits are skipped at the tracker-enqueue stage. Administrator is a typical pick.

GeoIP

• GeoIP enabled — Toggle country / city resolution from the visitor IP. Disabled by default; enabling requires a MaxMind license key.
• MaxMind license key — Your license key for the MaxMind GeoLite2 database. The key is stored masked once saved.
