+/* Posthog analytics tracking.
+ *
+ * Anonymity behaviour is as follows:
+ *
+ * - If Posthog isn't configured in `config.json`, events are not sent.
+ * - If [Do Not Track](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator/doNotTrack) is
+ *   enabled, events are not sent (this detection is built into posthog and turned on via the
+ *   `respect_dnt` flag being passed to `posthog.init`).
+ * - If the `feature_pseudonymousAnalyticsOptIn` labs flag is `true`, track pseudonomously, i.e.
+ *   hash all matrix identifiers in tracking events (user IDs, room IDs etc) using SHA-256.
+ * - Otherwise, if the existing `analyticsOptIn` flag is `true`, or not present (i.e. prior to
+ *   logging in), track anonymously, i.e. redact all matrix identifiers in tracking events.
+ * - If both flags are false, events are not sent.
