finder-frontend: Analytics

To improve the search user experience, we track user behaviour in Google Analytics.

What is tracked

In addition to the default page view tracking that occurs on every page of GOV.UK, we have added additional tracking to finder-frontend.

There are three kinds of tracking:

Enhanced Ecommerce: Provided by static; provides analytics on views (impressions) and clicks of lists of items.
Event tracking: tracks usage of features such as facets.
Page view tracking: tracks each search that a user makes.

For Enhanced Ecommerce, the tracking functionality is tested in static.

We have feature tests to check the correct attributes are used in features/analytics.feature.
