Set Up User Counting

Set Up User Counting

Overview

The eyeo telemetry system enables user counting while maintaining privacy standards. No requests sent to data collection services contain any personally identifiable information.

Required Configuration

To implement user counting, developers must provide two essential gn arguments during the build process:

• eyeo_telemetry_client_id

• eyeo_telemetry_activeping_auth_token

These values are supplied by eyeo following initial contact.

Implementation Example

gn gen --args='eyeo_telemetry_client_id="mycompany" eyeo_telemetry_activeping_auth_token="peyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9" ...' ...

Important Security Note

Warning: Keep your auth token secure. Never embed it in open-source repositories or documents. If your auth token is revealed, reach out to eyeo as soon as possible to receive a new token.

If these arguments remain unset, the application will still function normally, though eyeo cannot properly attribute user metrics to your product.

Optional Parameters

Additional configuration is available through:

• eyeo_application_name

• eyeo_application_version

Optional Configuration Example

gn gen --args='eyeo_telemetry_client_id="mycompany" eyeo_telemetry_activeping_auth_token="peyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9" eyeo_application_name="My great browser" eyeo_application_version="111.24.0.1" ...' ...

When omitted, the system defaults to values retrieved from version_info::GetProductName() and version_info::GetVersionNumber() from the Chromium version_info.h header file.

Privacy Assurance

User counting doesn't transfer any PII or other identifiable data to eyeo, nor does it allow tracking or profiling of users by eyeo.
