Set up Google Analytics

[ljwalker]

The ability to monitor traffic to the Knowledge Hub would be helpful for documenting use over time!

Has this been implemented or considered yet?

I looked into this a bit earlier in the project, then decided to kick it down the road until someone else brought it up. The challenge with GA is that it is cookie-based and requires explicit consent from users in the EU and other privacy-minded jurisdictions. So we would need either (1) GA plus a consent-management platform to allow users to opt-in to cookies or (2) a non-GA analytics platform that complies with privacy legislation. I looked into a few consent-management and analytics platforms and they were either not free or required hardware to set up. So this may be possible but is definitely going to be annoying.

GitHub Pages itself does not provide any analytics at all.

Moving this to Future development phase. Based on Adam's comments above it is out of scope for GEO OSE.
