Closes #12

heoehmke commented 3 years ago

I am not fully aware of the legal situation, if it's mandatory to log users consents according GDPR I personally think it's better to leave it on by default in order to have a GDPR compliant ready-to-run package. Apart from that I could imagine many users want logging turned on for statistical reasons, especially since you planned to visualize the stats in #11 and to get an idea how meaningful Google Analytics stats are. But I think in case of leaving it on by default the Readme should make it clear more noticeable, maybe at the top of the Configuration section, so users are aware of it and don't wonder when their database suddenly blows up.

After some research, we unfortunately could not find a consistent statement about that topic. According to some statements it is urgently necessary to save the decision on the server. Other sources advise against it because of GDPR-violations. Also the lawyer of our customer, who requested logging, wasn't even sure about it.

Since we want to leave the decision to everyone individually, I gladly accept your PR. But I will make a version 3.0 out of it so that we don't get breaking-changes in small version jumps. The 3.0 branch will then be provided with additional logging features in the future.

Thank you very much @heoehmke!
