I am able to recreate the issue where clicking on “no thanks” triggers a request to countly.ipfs.io where it absolutely should not. It’s sending:

  • the list of analytic catagories that are being declined
%7B%22sessions%22%3Afalse%2C%22events%22%3Afalse%2C%22views%22%3Afalse%2C%22location%22%3Afalse%2C%22crashes%22%3Afalse%7D
  • the app_key
&app_key=8fa213e6049bff23b08e5f5fbac89e7c27397612
  • the device_id (most egregious)
&device_id=c2cb4124-1212-4ddf-bf26-9bab77e70121&
  • the sdk_name and sdk_version
sdk_name=javascript_native_web&sdk_version=19.08
  • location is nulled out
&location=
  • and a timestamp, hour and day of week of the event
 &timestamp=1619194484798&hour=17&dow=5
