Bringing Back Unique Opens/Clickthrough Analytics

Howdy everyone, 

I've been working on bringing back the ability to see unique opens and clickthroughs in the tracker. It was removed in v11 because of GPDPR issues - the "uniqueness" of the data was done by tracking the email address, which is a pretty big no-no in this post-GDPR world without explicit consent. 

Instead, I'm tweaking the app to use one-way anonymous hashes rather than email addresses, created with a single-use salt. The salt is never saved within the app, so there's no way to figure out what email address corresponds to any of the hashes. That should do the job. Work can be seen here: 


I'm also hoping to get the chart you see on the tracker's screen looking a little nicer, as it's a little less than ideal at the moment. Attached is one example, 

Cheers,
