OVERVIEW

About this course

Asking your customers if they want to be tracked is a good thing. You want to be transparent about what kind of data you collect from them and what could be used to stitch together user journeys. In Snowplow, you can handle the user's consent instantly and can switch between anonymous measuring (with no identifiers) and tracking (by storing an id in a cookie). And the implementation is really straightforward.
