# Display an Opt-Out Notification with Matomo Analytics

Many organizations – including [WordPress](/support/edu/wordpress/privacy-policy-page-wordpress/) and [us](/support/news/updates-to-our-privacy-policy/) – have updated privacy policies to comply with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As Matomo has many features to assist with GDPR compliance and anonymize tracked data, we cover how to **set Matomo to display an opt-out notification verifying the user’s activity isn’t being tracked with *Do Not Track* enabled**.

## Customize Opt-out Notification

1. **Log into Matomo**.
2. Select the **Settings** icon in the upper-right corner.
3. Select **Users Opt-out** on the left.
4. Customize text and background of the opt-out iframe message you’ll add to your website. For example: <iframe style="border: 0; height: 200px; width: 600px;" src="https://*example.com/analytics*/index.php?module=CoreAdminHome&action=optOut&language=en&backgroundColor=&fontColor=&fontSize=&fontFamily="> </iframe> [![Edit opt-out notification](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/images/stories/matomo-analytics/matomo-39-users-opt-out.png)](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/images/stories/matomo-analytics/matomo-39-users-opt-out.png)
5. Paste the HTML code into your website using a [file editor](/support/website/how-to-edit-a-file/) or your website backend. The footer section is an optimal location.
6. Visiting your website with **Do Not Track** enabled will show the following on your website: You are not being tracked since your browser is reporting that you do not want to. This is a setting of your browser so you won't be able to opt-in until you disable the 'Do Not Track' feature. You can disable **Do Not Track support** at the bottom as well.
