We have this code for Google Analytics, should we have something similar for Plausible?

Lines 21 to 23 in c445700

	if ({{ DO_NOT_TRACK_ENABLED | lower }} && navigator.doNotTrack === '1') {
	console.debug('Respecting DNT with respect to analytics...');
	} else {

Hrm, from their documentation I understand that it's not "required", tho -- https://plausible.io/docs/integration-guides#dnt-and-offline-functionality

Plausible by default doesn't take DNT (Do Not Track) into consideration as we're a privacy first analytics tool and DNT allows "data analysis techniques that protect the anonymity of the users".

Good question for @davidfischer, who I think did this work initially.

But it seems like we can just include it, since they're not storing data.

I think it's OK to have Plausible despite DNT although it also might be nice to just disable it for those users. I don't think there's any hard requirement so I'll leave it up to you.

At some point we will have to update the privacy policy and our section on GA in our docs although maybe those can wait until we roll it out more widely.

Oh interesting! Yup, they say so themselves here, stating that DNT says so, too.. https://plausible.io/docs/integration-guides#dnt-and-offline-functionality

I like the approach, that's exactly what multiproject is for!! But think we need to do the below suggestion...

Docs are failing because some unrelated warnings.

We could merge #10090 and then update this PR and check the PR build?
