See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. In the context of the EU Cookie Directive, tracking is only permitted with the consent of the website visitor. In a cookie dialog, the visitor agrees or refuses to the setting of cookies. Matomo tracking can only be activated with consent.

Describe the solution you’d like After first initialization of Matomo in index.tsx (as wrapper around die App) there shoud be a way to disable / enable Matomo tracking from anywhere within the app.

Something like

const { disableTracking } = useMatomo();

Describe alternatives you’ve considered Enabling / Disabling all tracking-events manually in a component, based on a flag.

@kuzdogan as mentioned in the post you link, to ensure GDPR compliance [snip] Users can opt-out of all tracking, which they can’t with the current implementation of this library.

I understand that the French authorities have allowed Matomo to work without user consent, but given that GDPR applies to quite a few more countries than France, I think we still need to be able to disable/enable it on demand.

Beyond that, in my opinion, it’s not just about legislation, it’s also about giving users of the library options and allowing them to make the decissions on their own.
