Request for destroy/stop method

There is a scenario where I’ve come across where based on user cookie preferences, it would be ideal if datadogRum could be toggled on/off in a browser session. There looks like there is no API for something like stop, destroy, or uninitialized.

This would facilitate a good user experience without an interrupting full page refresh especially in SPAs.

+1 for the stop() method

Also on the same topic (cookie preferences management) but different solution:

if the datadogRum had a privacyMode which didn’t set or read cookies, it could still be run in most cases where cookie consent is not given. Some SDK offer methods to set consent so that they can change the behaviour depending on it - it would be great to have something like this.

@BenoitZugmeyer the use case is for when the user withdraws consent (via consent management pop up) after previously having consented. It’s valid that data before them withdrawing consent should be sent to datadog - but we want to stop any additional data being sent while they are still on that page (particularly pertinent for SPA where you don’t get full page refreshes very often) A workaround could be to force a page refresh if a user edits their consent settings but this adds friction
