## Analytics

The site uses [iubenda](https://www.iubenda.com/) to manage tracking consent.

Tracking scripts are loaded via [Google Tag Manager](https://tagmanager.google.com/#/container/accounts/6068072463/containers/116206463/workspaces/9)

Analytics are recorded in [Google Analytics](https://analytics.google.com/analytics/web/#/p373834203/reports/home) and [Heap](https://heapanalytics.com/app/env/4204607514/dashboard/Testcontainers-Overview-278374)

### TCD install attribution

During Testcontainers Desktop client authorization users are redirected to `https://testcontainers.com/desktop/authorized/`.

This page sends an `attribution` event to [Mixpanel](https://eu.mixpanel.com/project/2717988/view/3254192/app/events#pYPErQ1bEeiU) that links any attribution information in the users cookies (utms, referrer etc) to the client install ID.

The code for this page is found in `/layouts/authorized/baseof.html`.

The script that saves that attribution data to the users cookies is in the Google Tag Manager container.
Historical analytics data can be found in [Google Analytics](https://analytics.google.com/analytics/web/#/p373834203/reports/home) and [Heap](https://heapanalytics.com/app/env/4204607514/dashboard/Testcontainers-Overview-278374). Analytics are no longer being recorded on this site.

With all of the client side reason for this page removed, we could add it to the redirects in netlify.toml. We may also wan't to update the TCC code to not redirect users to this page anymore.

Added redirect in netlify.toml to redirect /desktop/authorized/ directly to https://app.testcontainers.cloud/api/auth/login with a 302 status code. This eliminates the need for the client-side redirect page.
