# Opt-out of Tracking

Use opt-out when a user must be fully excluded from tracking. The SDK stores the opt-out state and stops accepting further tracking data while opt-out is active.

> [!WARNING]
> Important
> 
> The SDK must already be initialized before you call these methods.

## Methods

| Method | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `optOut(value: Boolean, sendCurrentData: Boolean = false)` | Enables or disables opt-out. When enabling opt-out, you can decide whether already cached requests should be sent first. |
| `hasOptOut()` | Returns whether opt-out is currently active. |

## What happens when opt-out is enabled

- The opt-out state is stored by the SDK.
- Tracking is disabled for incoming requests.
- Scheduled send jobs are cancelled.
- If `sendCurrentData` is `true`, cached requests are sent and then cleaned up.
- If `sendCurrentData` is `false`, cached requests are deleted immediately.

## Examples

```kotlin
// Enable opt-out and delete cached data immediately
Webtrekk.getInstance().optOut(value = true, sendCurrentData = false)

// Enable opt-out but send cached data first
Webtrekk.getInstance().optOut(value = true, sendCurrentData = true)

// Disable opt-out and resume tracking
Webtrekk.getInstance().optOut(value = false)

// Check the current state
val isOptOutActive = Webtrekk.getInstance().hasOptOut()
```

## When to use it

- Apply a privacy choice that requires full tracking exclusion.
- Stop tracking immediately for a user at runtime.
