Managing cookie consent

[carlosfarfangalindoNL222]

It's not clear how to manage consent with the matomo-tracker for flutter.

What I want to create:
An shopping application that everyone can acces without:

• Creating an account
• Accepting cookies
  So in the beginning I will initialize the MatomoTracker.instance with cookiesless = true.
  But when the user want to acces certain features of the app or want order an item, the user should create an account and have to accept our privacy policy. Then I want to enable cookies, so I want to set cookieless = false.

To my knowledge that is not possible right? You can reinitialize the MatomoTracker... or maybe you can?

I figured it out.

First, you can create a method which will generate a new instance of MatomoTracker:

Future<MatomoTracker> createTracker(int siteId, String url) async {
  MatomoTracker tracker = MatomoTracker();
  await tracker.initialize(siteId: siteId, url: url);
  return tracker;
}

Next, whenever you want to change siteId and url, just call the createTracker function with the new siteId and url:

// Initialize a tracker for siteId 1
MatomoTracker tracker = await createTracker(1, 'https://my-website-1.com');

// ... Do tracking for siteId 1 ...

// Create a new tracker for siteId 2
tracker = await createTracker(2, 'https://my-website-2.com');

// Now the tracker is set up for siteId 2

And I can reassign the variable 'tracker' when the user is logged in.
