    SecretKey: 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY'
};

Initialize honeytracks into your app life cycle

app.use(HoneyTracks.initialize(true));

Setting the first param to true enables cookie support to have module handle UniqueCustomerClickToken. In this case be sure to position the HoneyTracks initialize middleware after the CookieParser middleware. If you wish to handle the UniqueCustomerClickToken yourself you can set this to false and in TrackClick pass in your own UniqueCustomerClickToken in the optional data parameter. Also note that UniqueCustomerIdentifier is not necessary for the TrackClick event, this is useful for new users where the user account id is not yet known/created.
