Adding complex filter exclusion #117

Open Chardonneaur opened 1 month ago

Hi Team,

Some Matomo users are getting some spam traffic with complex scenarios. For example: 1 action with abandonned cart full of products. It would be interesting to have an exclusion filter where we could set an exclusion pattern such as the one of the gdpr deletion tool.

Thank you @Chardonneaur . That sounds like a good potential enhancement. I will add this to the backlog to be reviewed and prioritised by our Product team.

@Chardonneaur The issue here is all the filter options we see in GDPR is for processed data and this plugin does action before any data is added to tables, the only options we have is the request i.e URL, user-agent, IP, device and etc.

So having a filter on abandoned cart would be very difficult for this as there is no way to determine at the time of single request that its an abandon cart request.
