Description
Dear team,
first - thank you for making this amazing project and making it available as FOSS.
I would like to make one small feature request: In the file "timeline-embed-cdn.js", located on your CDN server, Google Analytics gets contacted even if you don't specify a GA ID.
For privacy reasons, I would like to suggest an option to disable this part of the script entirely.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by inspecting timeline-embed-cdn.js on the CDN server and locate where Google Analytics is contacted when no GA ID is supplied. Determine how an opt-out option could be exposed and confirm that the completed change prevents the Analytics contact when disabled; the issue does not mention a repository test or source entry point.
