Better GDPR compliance: Fix Do not track & EU Cookie Privacy integration

First of all thanks a lot for this great module, which we're using since Drupal 6 with so many wonderful options.

Since GDPR is a major topic in EU countries, we're lacking a proper solution for several points when using Google Analytics with this module, for example:

  • No proper integration with EU Cookie Compliance
  • Do-Not-Track only works for logged in users and without static caching (doesn't work with boost e.g.)
  • Cookies were set and (with local caching for GA Tracking code disabled) the tracking code was loaded from the Google servers if we used workarounds → for GDPR compliance.

That reflects in a lot of issues in this module with many hacky workarounds posted, but no well working solution for end-users.

Drupal 8 issues:

#2917905: Add JS-function / method to set ga-disable-... →
#2805127: DoNotTrack privacy feature →

Drupal 7 issues:

#2173433: No GA code with alternative page caching engines and DNT header →
#2971644: Eu cookie compliance support →

This issue is a try to finally fix these typical problems with two patches, because it makes sense to combine the solution in a runtime JavaScript solution to allow static caching to work and also make interaction with other modules like eu_cookie_compliance possible. Because eu_cookie_compliance is widely used, I decided to also add it to the admin UI to have a better user experience for non-devs.

So please help to push #2986131: JS loads too late to affect Google Analytics → for Drupal 8!

Please test, review and comment the patch and please help adding tests so that we can roll this out for Drupal 8 and Drupal 7 as soon as possible.

Thank you all!
