chore: add analytics

It'd be nice to know if folks are reading the docs, and if so, how far they get.

I don't like user tracking and analytics. Honestly I wish we had an alternative to sending our user data to Google. Not even in the websites of a distributed privacy-aware technology can be browsed without putting the ad-blocker condom on... And we have no one assigned to making something useful out of this data at the moment. So I can live without this, but I'm flexible and I don't mind so much in the end.

That said, implentation is better using Hugo's provided template for this. See:

https://gohugo.io/templates/internal/

:)

I hear you. I am working on a self-hosted solution: ipfs/ipfs-webui#930

@mikeal is working on making good use of the data as part our effort to have better metrics for the IPFS project https://github.com/protocol/metrics/issues/1

To alivate the unplesant feeling in the meantime, I can wrap the script in a check for the users navigator.doNotTrack setting, so we don't fetch anything from google if it is set.

hat said, implentation is better using Hugo's provided template for this. See:

I'm aware of the internal template, but the template suggested by GA differs significantly. I'd like to manage it ourselves.

afaik, google respects DNT (?). It's ok. Thanks man!

IIRC, google ignores it completely.
