 * This script saves some information about how, from where and why someone came on a cocalc page.
 * It checks for UTM parameters and the referral and landing page.
 * On kucalc, static pages are served without going through the hub.
 * Therefore we have to do the extraction on static pages,
 * which will also work on adjacent pages like the documentation.
 * The cookies are only set if they're new.
 * e.g. this filters the SSO auth pages, which are uninteresting referrals
