Opt-In or Opt-Out functionality

First of all you have to decide, if LUX should track by default (no extra Opt-In needed, but an Opt-Out for disabled tracking) or if your website visitor should allow the tracking (normally done in a cookie banner popup - so with Opt-In functionality).

Per default LUX tracks visitors without their explicit agreement and they have to Opt-Out if they don't want to be tracked any more (see some examples below how to Opt-Out). If you want to not automaticly track your visitors without their agreement, you can use the opt-in functionality of LUX.

In th first step, you have to disable the autoenable function via TypoScript constants:

plugin.tx_lux.settings.autoenable = 0

Now, LUX will not track visits per default (you can double check if data-lux-autoenable="0" is set in your HTML source). In the next step, you can place an HTML-element anywhere on the page with data-lux-trackingoptin="true". A manual click on this element will allow the tracking (a local storage record luxTracking=true is set in the browser).

<span data-lux-trackingoptin="true">Opt-In for LUX analyses</span>

This can also be disabled again with an element like:

<span data-lux-trackingoptin="false">Opt-Out for LUX analyses</span>

As an alternative, you can directly access JavaScript functions to Opt-In or Opt-Out. This is helpful if you work with a cookie banner or a cookie lightbox like Usercentrics or a similar solution.

If you add the default JS before, what is normally automatically done via TypoScript setup in LUX (file EXT:lux/Resources/Public/JavaScript/Lux/Lux.min.js and if you have also installed LUXenterprise file EXT:luxenterprise/Resources/Public/JavaScript/Lux/LuxEnterprise.min.js), you can use this JavaScript:

# Opt-In
var Lux = LuxSingleton.getInstance();
Lux.optIn();

# Opt-Out
var Lux = LuxSingleton.getInstance();
Lux.optOut();

# Opt-Out and reload for a stop of all tracking mechanism at once
var Lux = LuxSingleton.getInstance();
Lux.optOutAndReload();

<script type="text/javascript">
  window.addEventListener('CookiebotOnAccept', function(e) {
    if (!Cookiebot.consent.marketing) return;
    var Lux = LuxSingleton.getInstance();
    Lux.optIn();
  }, false);
</script>

Opt-Out Plugin

As known from Matomo (former known as Piwik) also LUX offers a Plugin for an Opt-Out possibility for visitors. You can use it as a regulare editor.

DoNotTrack Header

Browsers support a (per default turned off) option to inform the website that the visitor don't wants to be tracked. This is the DoNotTrack or DNT setting. Even if this rare used feature of the browser is only a recommendation, LUX will respect this setting of course!

Note: While Firefox turns on the DNT by default for anonymous tabs, Chrome and Internet Explorer never turn this setting on by default.

Note: Maybe you want to switch from fingerprint to local storage mode. See OptIn and OptOut
