Can we move this at the top of body just after the google_analytics in the header.html ? Also lets do the if check inside the template.

Lets do the DNT check just like in the google analytics template https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gohugoio/hugo/master/tpl/tplimpl/embedded/templates/google_analytics.html and introduce a param like matomoRespectDoNotTrack. If that option is true it should not even include the tracking snippet, just like in the google analytics. Also be sure to check for user DNT setting in browser var dnt = (navigator.doNotTrack || window.doNotTrack || navigator.msDoNotTrack);.

Hmm, I see where you're getting at.

However, this specific flag serves to include a JS snippet that prevents the request from being sent at all if the user's DNT setting is turned on.
So the check you're referring to is in the javascript that is included. https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/blob/6f5b85b6f7d2195362ae03480120f4cef5ec4dc1/js/piwik.js#L6564

Knowing this, would you still add it yourself? :)

<script type="text/javascript">
var _paq = _paq || [];
/* tracker methods like "setCustomDimension" should be called before "trackPageView" */
{{ if .Site.Params.MatomoDomainPrefixed }}_paq.push(["setDocumentTitle", document.domain + "/" + document.title]); {{ end }}
{{ if $clientSideDNT}} _paq.push(["setDoNotTrack", true]); {{ end }}
_paq.push(['trackPageView']);
_paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']);
(function() {
var u="//{{ .Site.Params.MatomoUrl }}/";
_paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'piwik.php']);
_paq.push(['setSiteId', '{{ $siteId }}']);
var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
g.type='text/javascript'; g.async=true; g.defer=true; g.src=u+'piwik.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s);
})();
</script>
{{ if .Site.Params.MatomoEnableFallback }}

Do we really need this fallback ?

It's a Matomo specific option, not really a fallback for the option on its own, but if the user has JS disabled this 'fallback' provides a way of tracking it using an img element.

So, a better suggestion for the name?

Do people still disable javascript ? I mean most of today pages are JS heavy :)
