Error using GA with Redis session provider

Description

We have the session provider configured to use a Redis instance on the Azure cloud. The configuration uses a custom "redisSerializerType", a simple class doing serialization / deserialization using Newtonsoft.Json, rather than the default binary serializer that ships with the Microsoft.Web.Redis library.

The error occurs when you logout. The error message is:

Unable to find a constructor to use for type EPiServer.GoogleAnalytics.Web.Tracking.AnalyticsInteraction. A class should either have a default constructor, one constructor with arguments or a constructor marked with the JsonConstructor attribute. Path '$values[0].ContentLink', line 1, position 268.

  </providers>
</sessionState>
