To help you comply with European data protection laws, the player offers a consent dialog asking viewers if they agree to the use of the movingimage's analytics technology.

Analytics data helps creators to understand the video usage and improve viewer experience.

The use of the analytics technology does not record personally identifiable information.

By default, this consent dialog is not toggled, meaning that statistics and analytics are collected.

To enable the consent dialog, web administrators can toggle the consent dialog using the Player Generator UI

If web administrators do not want the consent dialog to be shown to viewers, they can enable or disable analytics using the player's JavaScript API.

Both steps are described below.

Toggle consent dialog in Player Generator

To show the consent dialog to viewers, you can toggle the consent dialog from the player generator.

After logging into your VideoManager Pro account, navigate to Player Generator > Additional Settings in the top right corner.

Scroll down to Tracking Consent Dialogue. Here, you can toggle it to display the consent dialogue box in the player.

After enabling the tracking consent dialogue, you can select the language of the consent text.

Currently, English and German are supported. If no language is specified, the player decides the language based on the user's browser language, with a fallback to English.

After enabling the tracking consent dialogue and selecting a language option, a dialog will be shown on top of the player to ask the viewer for their consent of the use of analytics technology within the video player:

If the viewer disagrees, analytics is disabled. If the viewer agrees, analytics will be carried out.

If the tracking consent dialogue remains disabled in the player generator, the above dialog is not shown and the viewer's activity is tracked for analytics.

Alternatively, the viewer's tracking_cookie_consent decision through the player API determines if tracking is enabled.

Enable or disable analytics using the JavaScript API

If you do not want the consent dialog to be shown, you can also use the JavaScript API to tell the player to accept or reject analytics.

Note that the steps below require a custom content banner to be displayed.

Specifically, enabling or disabling analytics involves adding the following functions to your script (more functions are available here):

• Accept analytics
  
  

player.acceptAnalytics();

• Reject analytics
  
  

player.rejectAnalytics();
