On tutorial screen, ask user for consent to analytics, like mobile apps do

[wiz]

After obtaining user consent, initialize analytics as follows...

Source: https://firebase.google.com/docs/web/setup

The Firebase SDK is also available on npm. If you don't already have a package.json file, create one via npm init. Next, install the firebase npm package and save it to your package.json:

$ npm install firebase --save

To use the module in your application, require it from any JavaScript file:

var firebase = require("firebase");

If you are using ES2015, you can import the module instead:

import * as firebase from "firebase";

Then, initialize the Firebase SDK using the code snippet from above, which should look like this:

// Initialize Firebase
var config = {
    apiKey: "AIzaSyAJU9sS9V1StkvHKEQQTdjJeXEzZAHESjY",
    authDomain: "cypherpunk-analytics.firebaseapp.com",
    databaseURL: "https://cypherpunk-analytics.firebaseio.com",
    storageBucket: "cypherpunk-analytics.appspot.com",
    messagingSenderId: "385823011522"
};
firebase.initializeApp(config);

Desktop isn't a single-user device like mobile is, so when is the tutorial screen to be shown? If you log in with a different username, new consent presumably needs to be given, so after the login screen then? Is consent stored in the user profile on the server?

[wiz]

Ask during the tutorial, which is after a successful login authentication. Only save consent on the device.

Yeah but I assume it would still have to be saved per account somehow. Otherwise, if you log out and log in again under a different account, it would count has haven given consent for the other user too. (These could be two different people with different accounts on the same machine.)

Since this is technically implemented I'll close the issue, even though there are future refinements we'll want to do, such as:

• [ ] Use user's real IP even when connected via VPN
• [ ] Log more events, such as viewing/manipulating your account from the app, or which locations are selected
• [ ] Log metrics such as connection times and maximum recorded transfer speeds
