GTM Rogue Referral issue

[mraichelson]

There's an issue that crops up in SPAs that's dubbed the Rogue Referral issue, you can read about it in depth over here...

• Simo Ahava: Fix the rogue referral problem with single page sites

Right now there are two open PRs to try to address this but they've been abandoned and are no longer in-sync with the current release of gtm-module.

• add pushOriginalLocation #74 (open, September 8, 2020)
• Fix rogue referral issue for GTM, GA and AdWords tracking #86 (open, November 1, 2020)

There's also issue #68 (August 31, 2020) which was around this as well but was closed without an actual resolution.

What is the best way to get this moving forward again?

I was starting to put together a new PR against the current base branch, but the two existing PRs worked in different files and I wasn't clear on what the actual best practice was (if any), or what the difference between the two approaches was (if any).

(This situation a blocker to me being able to use Nuxt for any work at ye olde day-job since it means paid traffic can't be accurately tracked for performance purposes.)

Looks like this also snakes back to September 2019 in this issue that was filed over on nuxt/nuxt.js originally.
