… is granted
This commit refactors the analytics implementation to enhance user privacy by delaying the initialization of the Firebase and Datadog SDKs until explicit user consent is granted. Previously, these services were initialized on application startup.
Key changes include:
- SDK initialization is now triggered by the `updateAnalyticsConsent` method when analytics are allowed.
- Datadog and Firebase log writers are now inner classes and will not log any data until the SDKs are initialized.
- The default state for analytics is now set to `denied` (`false`).
- Additional privacy-focused configurations have been implemented:
- Firebase Advanced Consent Mode is used to explicitly deny all ad-related data collection.
- Automatic screen reporting, SSAID collection, and ad personalization signals are disabled in `AndroidManifest.xml`.
- Noisy or PII-sensitive Datadog features like frustration tracking, background events, and user interaction tracking have been disabled.
