Enable ViewCount on Discussions but Disable (Remote) Analytics
For privacy reasons, I do not want to use (remote) analytics, i.e. no data from my forum should be transferred to other hosts (e.g. analytics.vanillaforums.com). However, if I set Garden.Analytics.Enabled to false, the ViewCount of discussions doesn't increment in Vanilla 2.2 (it did in Vanilla 2.1 !). Therefore, I activated analytics but set Garden.Analytics.Remote to localhost. Is this sufficient? Is there a better way to achieve my goal?
Unfortunately, for a small time interval, analytics where enabled and my forum registered itself at analytics.vanillaforums.com (it saved an application ID and secret in the configuration, which I then removed immediately). This means, that some data was transmitted to analytics.vanillaforums.com. Where can I request the deletion of that data?

This should be 100% verifiable in the open source code.
