api: analytics documentation needs-attention question

Description

The documentation is missing for how to disable analytics for the web.

This should be linked or referenced somewhere in the guides:

https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/analytics.md#setanalyticscollectionenabled

The place where it is missing is probably here:

https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics/configure-data-collection?platform=ios

This will be helpful for users in the future.

Thanks!

Hi,

I was wondering if there's any solutions or suggestions around firebase analytics and complying with gdpr.

There doesn't seem to be a way to disable data collection or change the behavior at all, whereas the ios and android sdk's seem to have it.

There is link here to disabling firebase analytics for web but it's broken:

This issue has not been assessed yet.
