Features:

• Analytics dashboard
• Multisite support
• Configurable IP storage (raw + hash or hash-only)
• Built-in data cleanup and privacy maintenance tools

All log data is stored locally in the WordPress database and is accessible only to site administrators.

Privacy

ConacLog stores access log data in a dedicated database table within WordPress.

Stored data includes:

• Visitor IP address (always stored as a hashed value; optionally stored in raw form)
• Remote host name (stored only when raw IP storage is enabled)
• Access date and time
• Requested URL

If hashed-only storage is enabled, raw IP addresses and remote host names are not stored.

If raw IP storage is enabled, both the raw IP address and its hashed value are stored.

Administrators may remove stored raw IP addresses and remote host names using the plugin’s maintenance tools.

A small cookie may be set to identify administrator self-access for filtering purposes. This cookie is stored locally in the browser and is not transmitted to any external service.

No log data is transmitted automatically.

Does it store personal information?

The plugin stores IP addresses as part of access logs. Administrators can choose whether to store raw IP addresses together with hashed values, or to store only hashed values.

If raw IP storage is enabled, the remote host name is also stored. If hashed-only storage is enabled, raw IP addresses and remote host names are not stored.

External IP lookups are performed only when explicitly requested by an administrator.
