Please remove Crazy Egg's marketing site from your list, while still blocking the tracking #429

Crazy Egg is an analytics company and belongs on your list to be blocked. However, the domains listed below are for clients of Crazy Egg. Blocking them does not block tracking/analytics it just blocks the marketing site and web application. I respectfully ask that you remove the following domains from the blocklists:

www.crazyegg.com
app.crazyegg.com
hud.crazyegg.com
core.crazyegg.com
oauth.crazyegg.com
integration-api.crazyegg.com
helpcenter.crazyegg.com
files.crazyegg.com
crazyegg.com
api.crazyegg.com <-- this is for our GraphQL backend and does not do any tracking
video-api.crazyegg.com
comments-api.crazyegg.com
shopify.crazyegg.com

You can, and should, leave the following domains on your list. This will block tracking by Crazy Egg:

script.crazyegg.com
tracking.crazyegg.com
recording.crazyegg.com

If you just blocked script.crazyegg.com it would effectively block all tracking Crazy Egg.

This allows customers using your service and Crazy Egg to use Crazy Egg while still blocking tracking from Crazy Egg.

Thank you!
