Bring back open tracking #153

Closed catpreneur closed 2 years ago

catpreneur commented 2 years ago

Hi,

So the changelog says open tracking was removed due to privacy concerns, but in that case, why does this gem exist at all? Analytics will always be a trade off between privacy and insight.

Instead of making the decision on behalf of everyone, why don't we let the end users decide? Allow us to conditionally enable/disable open tracking based on the user preferences, similar to click tracking with the if: parameter.

Thank you

Hey @oofdog, it's not something I'd like to support, but you can fork from the latest 1.x version.
