OptInOut.js

A simple JavaScript library to manage opting in & out of tracking/marketing/mailing - in fact whatever you want to manage. This was created with EU GDPR in mind.
To get started, check out the quick start below.

Visit our website for more information, the documentation or the guides and examples.

The original repository is hosted on GitLab, there's a mirror on it on GitHub. You can create issues anywhere, but the main work happens on GitLab.

#### Static HTML
For usage in standard websites with best browser coverage we recommend including the dist/optinout.js or dist/optinout.min.js.
Just include the script via a standard script-tag in the header/footer:

#### Initialization
You have to initialize the library before using any of its methods:

OptInOut();

This initializes the library with our default options & storages. Even if you do not want to customize the options you have to add your services:

OptInOut({
services: {
'facebook': {
mode: 'optIn',
},
'analytics': {
mode: 'optOut',
},
},
});

#### Opt-In & Opt-Out
You can use the global's object "static" methods for quick access to the most important methods of the current instance.

//opting out
OptInOut.optOut('analytics');

//opting in
OptInOut.optIn('facebook');

For easier handling we include a link-helper plugin, which automatically trigger when buttons with specific classes are clicked. Add it as a plugin with OptInOut.plugins.linkPlugin on initialization and add the optInOut-optIn class and the data-service-attribute to your buttons. See full documentation for details.

#### Checking Status
Checking if something is allowed or not (--> if the user has opted in/opted out) is easy:

OptInOut.isAllowed('facebook');

This method takes the current saved status & the mode of the service into consideration.
