It is possible to ignore GET parameters form "normal" urls in Matomo, but I can't find the option to remove parameters from download links:
Examples:
www.domain.com/index.php?param=foo&file=myfile.pdf
www.domain.com/index.php?param=bar&file=myfile.pdf
Now I want to exclude the parameter param in the statistics, that the above example will be counted as the same url. Is this possible?
You can configure this in the Matomo settings:
You can easily ignore a number of parameters from the URLs, and prevent them from appearing in the “Behavior > Pages” report. Login as the Super User, go to Administration > Manage Websites > Global list of Query URL parameters to exclude field.

I created a report in DataStudio and embedded it on my website. I activated the option "anyone with the link can view" so this report will be visible to my website users.
But I need to show my website users different data depending on their user ids and more important I don't want users would be able to see other users' data so if I used URL filtering users would be able to breach and search another user id to see his data.
Does anyone have a solution for this scenario?
In Google documentation I saw an option to limit the report to users in my domain, I assume this will solve this issue, but I don't find how to restrict other domains.
Users are logged onto Google
If users of your website are already logged onto Google, use the Filter by email address guide from Data Studio help center. This requires you to setup FILTER BY EMAIL and then have a field in your data can be directly used as an email filter.
Users are not logged on to Google
If you want a solution where the users don't have to be logged onto Google, you will need to:
Create a Community Connector to pass the filtered data to your users. The connector should accept a short lived token as part of the config.
Create a dashboard with your connector and pass unique short-lived tokens for each user.
You should have an endpoint that returns the current user's data based on the token provided. Alternatively, the endpoint can return only the user's identify and you can query a secondary data source with a service account filtering for the user's identity.
Your connector should call your endpoint to fetch data only for the user/for the user's identity.
This official guide demonstrates how to implement this in more details.
Disclaimer: I work in the Data Studio team and wrote the above guide.
First option is to add extra 2 fields to your data source.
User_ID
Password
For example:
Data, User_ID, Password
$10,Daniel,123
$20,Alex,456
In your dashboard, you need to create two parameters:
User_ID_Parameter
Password_Parameter
Both parameters can set the default value to null, and accepts any values.
Then create a new calculated field:
CASE
WHEN REGEXP_MATCH(User_ID,USER_ID_Parameter) AND REGEXP_MATCH(Password,Password_Parameter) THEN 1
ELSE 0
END
Then create a new filter to the chart that you want to hide:
To include the above calculated field Equal to 1
Second option is to use the Data Studio default Row Level Security
The only caveat is the users need to sign in before they can view the report.
I want to disable tracking traffic data for https://www.example.com/something?utm_source=something
How can I achieve this? I only found a way to exclude parameters, but this is not what I need. (https://piwik.org/faq/how-to/faq_81/)
For example when you have a website with a URL of “example.com”, by default Matomo (Piwik) will track all requests for this website, even those requests for Page URLs that do not belong to “example.com”. If you add the JavaScript tracking code on pages of “another-website.com”, these requests will be tracked in your website “example.com” in Matomo.
It is possible to configure your website in Matomo (Piwik) so that only requests to “example.com” will be tracked, and all other requests ignored. Go to Administration > Websites > click “Edit”. Below the “URLs” field for your website, there is a checkbox “Only track visits and actions when the action URL starts with one of the above URLs.”. If you click this checkbox, and click “Save”, Matomo will then only track requests where the domain and the path is an exact match of one of the URLs you specified for this website. This means each valid subdomain has to be specified separately. For example when the known URLs are ‘http://example.com/path’ and ‘http://good.example.com’, tracking requests for ‘http://example.com/otherpath’ and ‘http://bad.example.com’ are ignored.

We are integrating Matomo (formerly Piwik) to monitor our application visits.
We have a page for users to recover their password, the URL looks like :
https://example.com/pwdRecovery?token=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST
Could you confirm that it is unsecure to log the URL containing the recovery token with Piwik ?
It is interesting to gets statistics on this page, that is why I do not want to remove my Matomo Tracking code here, how can I remove the confidential part of the URL in my Matomo's stats ?
Matomo (formerly Piwik) handles this for you, you just need to configure the parameters' name you want to exclude.
Login as the Super User, go to Administration > Manage Websites > Global list of Query URL parameters to exclude field.
Documented on their FAQ :
How do I exclude URL query parameters from the URLs tracked, and from Pages reports?
is it possible to exclude a Single Page from Piwik Tracking?
We want to get the Statistics without the tracking of some Subpages on the Website.
You can either not execute javascript code on such site (trackPageView) or exclude it (if it is possible to identify this unique site for example using a query parameter). Excluded parameters can be configured in the websites settings in Piwik.
I would like to access a user's Google Plus One history
With +1 enabled, the history is saved in your Google profile and optionally can be displayed:
http://www.google.com/+1/button/
It is possible to access this programatically (once the user has given permission via normal Google Authentication and Authorization?)
I have only been able to find information for the API to add the button to sites.
You can allways try to parse the data used by G+ itself.
The G+ user profile has a tab with all public +1, that can be fetched with
https://plus.google.com/_/plusone/get?oid=<google-plus-id>
It seems to be related to JSON, but with some differences.
Check this out....

Dave,
I'm not sure about a user's history, but the count for particular URL is available via a JSON-RPC service (https://clients6.google.com/rpc). Here's a little post on how to:
http://www.johndyer.name/post/Getting-Counts-Twitter-Links-Facebook-Likes-Shares-and-Google-Plus-One-Buttons.aspx
I'm guessing that same service can get additional data, but I can't find any public documentation either.
