- Adds Snowplow web tracker that reports to government instance of Snowplow
- From Snowplow quickstart docs the collector configuration descriptions:
- app_id -> Unique identifier for website/application. Type: string
- platform -> The platform the app runs on. Examples: web, mob, app. Type: string
- forceSecureTracker -> Normally the protocol (http or https) used by the Tracker to send events to a collector is the same as the protocol of the current page. You can force it to use https by setting the forceSecureTracker field of the configuration object to true.
- cookieLifetime -> Set the cookie lifetime. Type: int
- contexts -> Configure context entities to add to all events. Type: object

why specifically the 548?
Can we keep this number in any config and use it here ?. Later if we want to change the cookieLifetime then simply changing the config without changing this snowplow.js file will work.

This is part of testing environment code that we were asked to add as is to the application, to send data from our PR deployed environment for now. It is still unclear how/if snowplow tracking will be utilized.

Just curious. Then it will report only in web not in mobile ?

In this case Snowplow is referring to 'web' as client side tracking. Reference docs
This reverts commit 0b9c3e3.
