Move analytics to Mixpanel #18225
Description
Spike moving from Google Analytics to Mixpanel.
Mixpanel is being used company wide. We have work to do on GA so is it worth just going straight to Mixpanel now.
See Mixpanel Implementation Plan on Confluence
- Would we want a separate Vortex project or the same project as the site?
- If same project we could do site downloads to vortex install funnels
- Security issues with mixpanel token being cleartext and so open to data pollution
- Could we proxy our analytics through to mixpanel?
- Is it worth the effort in trying to stop it?
- Can we detect it?
Data team says we have 2 projects in Mixpanel - a dev project (we could use that for Beta) and a prod project (for Stable)
