Hello, I’d like to know if it’s authorized to collect custom dimensions on ppms hits if the user doesn’t consent to data cookies. It only concerns non-PII data, such as page type or event data for a button click. Thank you for your support, Arthur ---

Hi Arthur! In terms of functionality - it is possible to collect all this without the user consent. Unfortunately, I’m not able to give you any legal advice regarding this matter, but I recommend consulting a legal/compliance team before deciding how you’ll collect and use visitor data with Piwik PRO. ---
