Markopolo AI

Markopolo AI is a lightweight tracking plugin that captures key WordPress site events and sends them to the Markopolo AI analytics platform for reporting and attribution.

Key Features

• Page and interaction tracking: captures page_view, click, form_interaction, and Search events.
• Form data capture: can capture name, email, and phone values when they are present in forms.
• Session tracking: uses a UUID-based session identifier to group user activity.
• First-party identifier: manages a muid cookie for visitor identification.
• Marketing attribution data: can include common attribution cookies such as Facebook Pixel, TikTok, Google Analytics, and Microsoft UET cookies when present.
• Simple configuration: add your Tag ID from a WordPress admin settings page.
• Lightweight front-end script: loads only when a valid Tag ID and endpoint are configured.

How It Works

1. Install and activate the plugin.
2. Go to Settings > Markopolo AIr.
3. Enable Enable Tracking in plugin settings.
4. Enter your Tag ID.
5. Save settings.
6. The plugin loads its front-end script and sends tracked events to the Markopolo endpoint.

Tracking is off by default. The plugin does not load front-end tracking until Enable Tracking is enabled by an admin and a valid Tag ID is provided.

External Services

This plugin relies on Markopolo AI services to provide analytics and attribution functionality.

• Form values such as name, email, phone, and search terms

Privacy & Consent

This plugin tracks customer behavior including: * Page views, clicks, searches, and form interactions * Email addresses and phone numbers from form interactions * Marketing cookies (Facebook Pixel, TikTok, Google Analytics) * Session data and user identifiers

All data is sent to the Markopolo AI platform for analytics purposes. Ensure your privacy policy covers this data collection and complies with applicable privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA, etc.).

Important: Site owners are responsible for obtaining any user consent required under applicable laws and regulations before enabling or using tracking features.

Plugin-level enablement requires admin opt-in. If Enable Tracking is disabled, front-end tracking and settings webhooks are disabled. Front-end tracking also requires a valid Tag ID.

Developer Notes

• The plugin uses a WordPress admin settings page for configuration.
• Settings are sanitized before being saved.
• Events are sent asynchronously from the front end.
• The plugin includes an uninstall routine that removes its saved settings.
