Description

Since installing the proxy, visits to my own websites are tracked even though my machines carry the administrator's "ignore" cookie. Any easy way to address this glitch? Thanks.

Research direction

Start by reproducing a proxy request from a machine carrying Matomo's administrator "ignore" cookie, then trace how the proxy handles that cookie while forwarding tracker requests. Done means visits from clients with the cookie are not recorded by Matomo; the issue names no source file or test to begin with.
