 ## PiwikTrackingMiddleware (since 0.1.6)
 
 You can also use the `PiwikTrackingMiddleware` to track page views by including `django_pypiwik.middleware.PiwikTrackingMiddleware` in your `MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES`. The middleware sends a server-to-server tracking call in the `process_response` hook.
+The `PIWIK_TRACKING_MIDDLEWARE_PARAMS` option (a dict) in your settings.py let you control other tracking parameters to send to Piwik. 
 
 Please note that the call is synchronous - if your tracking server is slow to response, the response time of your application will suffer.
