setUserConsentStatus()

Sets the user’s consent status. Call this method from your consent management preferences screen in your app when the user opts in or opts out of tracking. If true, automatically enables all categories. If false, all categories automatically disabled.

If the user’s status is set to CONSENTED using this method, the Consent Manager automatically subscribes the user to ALL available consent categories (subset of categories not allowed).

tealiumInstance.getConsentManager().setUserConsentStatus(status);
Parameter Type Description Example
status String Status to set the user’s consent [ConsentManager.ConsentStatus.CONSENTED, ConsentManager.ConsentStatus.NOT_CONSENTED]

These static constants are the complete list of supported consent statuses.

CONSENTED
NOT_CONSENTED
UNKNOWN

UNKNOWN
The UNKNOWN status is the default setting for the Consent Manager. In this state, the Consent Manager queues events locally until an affirmative CONSENTED/NOT_CONSENTED status is provided.

tealiumInstance.getConsentManager().setUserConsentStatus(ConsentManager.ConsentStatus.UNKNOWN);

CONSENTED
The CONSENTED status is set when the user has consented to tracking. In this status, the Consent Manager dequeues any previously-queued track calls and allow all subsequent tracking calls to continue as normal.

tealiumInstance.getConsentManager().setUserConsentStatus(ConsentManager.ConsentStatus.CONSENTED);

NOT_CONSENTED
The NOT_CONSENTED status is set when the user has declined tracking. In this state, the Consent Manager purges any previously-queued track calls and drops all subsequent tracking calls from being further processed by the SDK.

tealiumInstance.getConsentManager().setUserConsentStatus(ConsentManager.ConsentStatus.NOT_CONSENTED);

setUserConsentStatusWithCategories()

Sets the consent status and categories in a single call.

tealiumInstance.getConsentManager().setUserConsentStatusWithCategories(status, categories);
Parameter Type Description Example
status String Status to set the user’s consent [ConsentManager.ConsentStatus.CONSENTED, ConsentManager.ConsentStatus.NOT_CONSENTED]
categories [String] Categories to set new String[]{ConsentManager.ConsentCategory.ANALYTICS, ConsentManager.ConsentCategory.BIG_DATA}

See setUserConsentStatus() and setUserConsentCategories() for a list of constant supported.
