Question Can a player Opt back in?

The

CheckForRequiredConsents 

API only returns identifiers for PIPL by design, although the name has caused much confusion it’s true. For GDPR and other legislations we expect users to just opt out as normal using the OptOut method - this is described in our privacy docs

 

@OwenSquirrel

I understand your concerns,
You need to present the option to opt out of Analytics data being collected directly to the user using your own method.

CheckForRequiredConsents

is an automatic Opt-In for Non PIPL Compliance areas,

Take a look at this documentation for further instructions: Data privacy and consent (unity.com)

See this page for further details on opt-out for GDPR and CCPA: GDPR and CCPA compliance (unity.com)

You also need to make sure you present the user with the privacy URL.
To get the Privacy URL, you can use:

Application.OpenURL(Events.PrivacyUrl);

To allow users to opt-out, you can create a button which calls:

public void OptOut()

Here is the function:

Code (CSharp):

1. public void OptOut()
2.     {
3.         try
4.         {
5.             if (!consentHasBeenChecked)
6.             {
7.                 // Show a GDPR/COPPA/other opt-out consent flow
8.                 // If a user opts out
9.                 AnalyticsService.Instance.OptOut();
10.              }
11.              // Record that we have checked a user's consent, so we don't repeat the flow unnecessarily.
12.              // In a real game, use PlayerPrefs or an equivalent to persist this state between sessions
13.             consentHasBeenChecked = true;
14.         }
15.         catch (ConsentCheckException e)
16.         {
17.             // Handle the exception by checking e.Reason
18.         }
19.     }

For a user to opt back in, you can go about it two ways, either uninstalling the app (most reliable and safest) or clearing PlayerPrefs and then restarting the app.
Eitherway, the playerPrefs get deleted and the app needs to be started up for the first time again.

We are currently discussing an easier option to opt back in, but there's no definite plans just yet.

 

I do agree with you.

I've done that many times myself.

I do understand your concerns, and believe me, this is being discussed internally, in regards to what data will be lost, could you elaborate? PlayerPrefs as a best practice it shouldn't be used to hold any important data.

I've actually been playing around with having a toggle within the UI to opt in and out, however the result is always the same, you need to restart the application.

I have actually tried this method multiple times, however this isn't the official method so I can't condone it as it might break other things internally. But I had already found this out myself and shared it internally awhile ago. I think we're definitely onto something though. Thank you for all your input it greatly helps us improve our products.

As noted above, I can't condone it, deleting the individual keys would still require you to restart the application and have other consequences. Do So At Your Own Risk.


I hope all of this clears things up?
I've also written a knowledgebase article which should help clear things up:
