tagging	number	Current version of the tracking setup.
user	object	Setting the user ids including id, device, and session.

const walkerjs = Walkerjs({
  dataLayer: true, // Add the dataLayer destination
  dataLayerConfig: {
    consent: 'functional', // Require functional consent
  },
  elb: 'elb', // Assign the elb function to the window
  globals: {
    tagged: false, // A static global attribute
  },
  pageview: true, // Trigger a page view event with each run
  run: true, // Automatically start running
  session: {
    storage: true, // Use the storage for session detection
    consent: 'marketing', // Require marketing consent to access storage
    length: 60, // Session length in minutes
  },
  tagging: 1, // Current version of the tagging
});

During a run you can still use globals and tagging to update the configuration.
