# Consent plugin

With the Consent plugin, it's possible to tell the player whether it's allowed to send analytics and store data to browser by the player.

## Installation

Load the Consent plugin next to the core player.


```html
<script src="//cdn.flowplayer.com/releases/native/3/stable/flowplayer.min.js"></script>
<script src="//cdn.flowplayer.com/releases/native/3/stable/plugins/consent.min.js"></script>
```

## Configuration

Without configuration, the player will default to not allow any tracking or storage when the Consent plugin is included.

The Consent plugin is configured with the top level configuration property `consent`. This is a bitmask property where the possible values can be found from `flowplayer.consent.tracking` and `flowplayer.consent.storage` enumerations.

Example:


```js
flowplayer("#player", {
  src: "my-source.mp4",
  consent: flowplayer.consent.tracking.ALL | flowplayer.consent.storage.NONE // Allow all tracking, allow no storage
})
```

### Tracking properties

To turn analytics on or off use the `flowplayer.consent.tracking` enumeration to construct the bitmask value.

The available properties are:

| property | description |
|  --- | --- |
| `flowplayer.consent.tracking.NONE` | No analytics or tracking are allowed to be sent by the player |
| `flowplayer.consent.tracking.ALL` | Analytics tracking is allowed |


### Storage properties

By default, Wowza Flowplayer uses `localStorage` to store data that needs to persist between sessions. This data includes both functional properties (like volume state) and data that help Wowza to identify unique devices for both technical and analytics use cases.

You can use the `flowplayer.consent.storage` enumeration to control the usage of browser storage.

Available properties are:

| property | description |
|  --- | --- |
| `flowplayer.consent.storage.NONE` | no data is allowed to be stored to be used between browser sessions. In other words, setting this value will make the player write into `sessionStorage`. |
| `flowplayer.consent.storage.ALL` | use of `localStorage` is allowed |
