Enhance user tracking by associating requests with a user ID in Matomo. This step can help you gain deeper insights into user behaviour.

To set this up, define the user ID using the _paq.push([ "setUserId", "<userIdHere>" ]); code.

Keep in mind:

• setUserId must be defined before trackPageView.
• The User ID must be a string. Although Matomo will not log an error if you send integers, it will not display the corresponding user ID. Use userId.toString() if you need to convert an integer to a string.

For more details, refer to Matomo's JavaScript Tracking Guide.

Ensure compliance with relevant laws when associating user IDs with requests.
