Remove Google Analytics or make this opt-in when self-hosted

[mprasil]

The Google Analytics can't be disabled anywhere in the interface as far as I'm aware and even if it was, this should be opt-in not opt-out otherwise it is very likely not GDPR compliant.

Obviously you can make this decision for your service, but I was wondering if there could be some support to set this in self-hosted scenario, where whoever is hosting the service might be required to disable it to be compliant.

Not sure if this is the right place. I'll post this on the community forum if it's better suited? This came up as discussion around disabling the analytics when bundled with our 3rd part API, so I didn't want to add unrelated stuff to community forums.

Google Analytics already is disabled for self-hosted installations of Bitwarden.

Since when? I'm running 2.1.1 locally and I can see Privacy Badger blocking the requests.

It always has, though I am guessing you are not using the official self hosted build.

Just for the record, here's how we build the Vault app:

npm run sub:init && npm install
npm run dist

And then we host the files from the build directory.

npm run dist:selfhost will remove GA.

Ah that's perfect! Thanks a lot for help.
