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.

As you know Salesforce is enforcing Enhanced Domains. I found from Salesforce help that:
Custom components in your org must be evaluated in order to check
whether they use domain name/static URLs
Some embedded content stored in Salesforce might no longer appear
Third-party applications can lose access to your data
Single sign-on integrations can fail
However, I'm struggling with finding out which particular Salesforce elements/configurations should be checked in order to detect potential gaps? Do you know which areas exactly can be affected and shall be evaluated (like Apex Codes, Email Templates and so on)? Is there any guide on that?
Your biggest concern should be inbound integrations. Things that log in over REST/SOAP API, get response with session id back, ignore the "url to use for all subsequent requests" and just use hardcoded url, whether it's prod or sandbox.
Look at this guy, he's victim of either enhanced domain or "disable api versions < 30" thing: The requested resource no longer exists with rest PHP. Look at these guys, they had hardcoded url: how to solve python code error (TooManyRedirects: Exceeded 30 redirects), Salesforce API via postman error INVALID_SESSION_ID.
As for stuff inside Salesforce itself - best would be to download whole project with sfdx and run a text search for your domain name (and site/community name if you have these). Email templates that use merge fields for forgot password etc should be fine, merge fields with record link should be fine... But if you manually craft email body in apex - might be a problem. A lot depends how creative the developer was. If you find getsalesforcebaseurl().toexternalform() it should still work. If it's hardcoded / read from custom setting / custom label / custom metadata it might be more fun.
If you have external apps that display pieces of salesforce (embedded live chat? some iframe with FAQ? CMS Connect) - the domain change might mean they need to be updated, both in terms of updating url and changing security rules (CSP for example)
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 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?
I have an internal corporate web application that has a page that hosts static content (things like announcements) and I decided to implement OutputCaching on this page to reduce the ammount of processing and db calls.
The only problem is that I need to also keep track of who has and hasn't viewed the content. Specifically I need to be able to audit who has seen a specific announcement (The announcement is determined by the GUID id passed to the MVC endpoint)
Is there any way to log who has accessed a page that has been output cached? Anything would be better than nothing, but if the log could be sent to an SQL database, that would be best solution for me.
I would normally log using an ActionFilterAttribute, but according to the stackoverflow article Working with the Output Cache and other Action Filters, that does not work well with the default output cache and instead you could try an alternative called DonutOutputCache.
