Google Analytics doesn't work #2287

From (about) 1 april 2021 Google Analytics doesn't work on OC pages (I've checked OC PL and OC UK):

It looks like there should be a line $GLOBALS['googleAnalytics_key'] = $googleAnalytics_key; added to /src/Models/ApplicationContainer.php, private static function loadLegacyConfig() method, or something like that.

I think we should disable GoogleAnalytics. We should have user consent to use GA cookies. So we have two solutions:

disable GA
refactor GA - every user should consent to use GA cookies. It should be informed consent - DISABLED by default! We should ask user to use cookies BEFORE we use cookies for this user.

We should not use GA as is in our code. (Use private mode of your browser and see google.com - they have good cookie consent)
