feat: switch to opt-out metrics

[SgtPooki]

Note that until https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-gui/issues/125, https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-gui/issues/130, and https://discuss.ipfs.tech/t/ipfs-gui-metrics-changes-in-progress/15695 have been available to the community for feedback for enough time (at least two weeks: ETA Jan 20th), we will continue with the implementation we currently have in public-gateway-checker:

• metrics implementation was already merged (https://github.com/ipfs/public-gateway-checker/pull/309), but it's not opt-out yet. I.e. until you accept/decline, no metrics are sent.

• [x] provide necessary consent on page-load

• [x] Allow users to disable necessary metrics (see https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-gui/issues/125#issuecomment-1352295236)

  • [x] Send a metric when users disable necessary metrics. This would give us a signal about the number of users we have that prefer zero telemetry collection

Send a metric when users disable necessary metrics. This would give us a signal about the number of users we have that prefer zero telemetry collection

This would be essentially the only datapoint we have for users that don't want telemetry collected for them, other than any other 'session' or 'view' metrics that are sent prior to them opting-out.

thoughts? @lidel @whizzzkid @tinytb

I am afraid this is still sending a telemetry: HTTP request will be reporting someone's IP and user-agent. Lying like that may be problematic from a legal standpoint: IP is considered private information in some jurisdictions.

Opt-out should be opt-out. When user opts-out,send "opt-out" event once, and never send anything again. You can infer what % of users opted-out from metrics by comparing the rolling averages (e.g. motnhly) of first-install vs opt-out events or something :)

This is exactly what I'm saying
