Analytics component

NOTE: As of August 24, 2018 there is global analytics in Ensemble. If you want access to that account for reporting purposes please file a ticket and we'll get you set up. Also note, that you can create your own Google Tag Manager account for tracking more granular items and feed that data to the global analytics account.

Analytics  can be added to track the number of sessions, visits, page views, and other data that a site receives.
