 * Hi,
 * Thank you for the great plugin! 
   Can you consider adding query string in page
   data?I understand its privacy point, but it could be boolean in setting whether
   to include query strings or not.

 * Hi [@jiivee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jiivee/),
 * Query strings are currently filtered out on a whitelist basis, so only certain
   commonly used query strings are allowed. This value defaults to the ones used
   by WordPress core (p, cat, tag, etc.) but we can definitely make this customizable.
   
   What query parameter are you thinking of specifically? This can help us decide
   whether it is one we want to support by default.Kind regards,Danny

 * Thank you for the quick reply Danny😀
   For me the query string parameter “area”
   is essential to sort different areas of service.I now use Matomo to get out but
   would be fantastic to have it from Koko Analytics.Br,

 * Hi [@jiivee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jiivee/),
 * The next release of the Koko Analytics plugin comes with a new filter hook that
   you can use to allow additional query variables, like area in your example.
 * A sample use of this filter hook can be found here: [https://github.com/ibericode/koko-analytics/blob/main/code-snippets/allow-query-vars.php](https://github.com/ibericode/koko-analytics/blob/main/code-snippets/allow-query-vars.php)
 * (You can save this file in your **/wp-content/plugins/ **directory and then activate
   it as a regular WordPress plugin.)
   Please know that the snippet will have no 
   effect until we release the next version of Koko Analytics, which is due in about
   ~2 weeks.
 * I hope that helps. If not, let me know please.
