Privacy and Consent Setup

Privacy and Consent Setup

Go to VideoHub360 → Privacy & Consent to configure the centralized consent system.

Consent Mode

Choose one of the following modes:

Disabled

VideoHub360 does not display a consent interface or restrict optional VideoHub360 features.

Use this mode when another consent plugin is responsible for consent management.

Notice Only

Displays an informational notice with an Acknowledge button.

Optional VideoHub360 features are not blocked.

Opt-Out

Preferences, Analytics, and Advertising begin enabled.

Visitors can disable optional categories through the preference panel.

Global Privacy Control still disables Advertising.

Strict Opt-In

Preferences, Analytics, and Advertising remain disabled until the visitor grants consent.

Necessary functionality remains active.

Consent Categories

Necessary

Always active.

Necessary functionality includes core site operation, authentication, security, PWA service-worker operation, installed navigation, Studio production, livestreaming, recording, and replay publishing.

Preferences

Controls nonessential remembered settings and third-party preference-based integrations.

This can include:

  • Remembered interface choices
  • PWA install-prompt timing and dismissal
  • Push-provider initialization
  • Studio workspace preferences
  • Remembered quality or layout selections

Analytics

Controls supported VideoHub360 analytics and ad-click measurement.

Advertising

Controls supported personalized advertising behavior.

Contextual advertising can display without Advertising consent.

Policy Settings

Configure the following fields:

  • Policy Version
  • Consent Expiration Days
  • Banner Heading
  • Banner Description
  • Privacy Policy Page
  • Privacy Policy URL
  • Accept All Text
  • Reject Optional Text
  • Manage Preferences Text
  • Save Preferences Text
  • Privacy Choices Text
  • Persistent Privacy Choices Control
  • Banner Position

A custom Privacy Policy URL takes precedence over the selected Privacy Policy page.

Increase the Policy Version when visitors must make new choices after a policy change.

Banner Position

Choose:

  • Top
  • Bottom

The banner position affects the consent notice only.

Privacy Choices Control

Enable the persistent Privacy Choices control to let visitors reopen their consent preferences.

You can also place this shortcode on a page:

[videohub360_privacy_choices]

The shortcode displays a Preferences button only when the consent mode is Opt-Out or Strict Opt-In.

It does not display in Disabled or Notice Only mode.

Global Privacy Control

When a visitor uses a browser that sends a Global Privacy Control signal:

  • Advertising is forced off.
  • The preference panel displays a Global Privacy Control notice.
  • The visitor cannot enable Advertising while that signal is active.

Activity Feed Advertising

Activity Feed ad slots can be classified as:

  • Contextual
  • Personalized

Contextual ad content can display without Advertising consent.

Personalized ad content waits until Advertising consent is granted.

Ad-click measurement requires Analytics consent.

Push Notifications

When consent is enabled:

  • The third-party push provider waits for Preferences consent.
  • Browser notification permission remains a separate browser action.
  • The visitor must still choose to subscribe.

Granting Preferences consent does not automatically grant notification permission.

PWA Behavior

The following remain Necessary:

  • Web app manifest
  • Service worker
  • Offline fallback
  • Installed navigation
  • Core installability

Remembered install-prompt timing and dismissal are controlled by Preferences.

Studio Behavior

The following remain available without Preferences consent:

  • Camera and microphone access
  • Livestreaming
  • Studio scenes and sources
  • Recording
  • Replay publishing

Browser permission for the camera and microphone remains separate from consent.

WordPress Privacy Tools

VideoHub360 registers privacy information for the WordPress privacy-policy helper and supported personal-data tools.

Review the generated text and update the site Privacy Policy to match the services used on the site.

Test the Setup

  1. Open the site in a private browser window.
  2. Confirm the correct notice or banner appears.
  3. Test Accept All.
  4. Test Reject Optional.
  5. Open Manage Preferences and save a custom selection.
  6. Reload the page and confirm the saved choices remain.
  7. Test the persistent Privacy Choices control.
  8. Test the shortcode in Opt-Out or Strict Opt-In mode.
  9. Test personalized Activity Feed advertising with Advertising disabled.
  10. Test push subscription with Preferences disabled and enabled.

Troubleshooting

The banner does not appear

  • Confirm the consent mode is not Disabled.
  • Open the site in a private browser window.
  • Clear site cookies and browser storage.
  • Increase the Policy Version to require a new choice.

The Privacy Choices shortcode shows nothing

Confirm the consent mode is Opt-Out or Strict Opt-In.

Personalized advertising remains blocked

Confirm Advertising consent is enabled and Global Privacy Control is not active.

Push notifications do not initialize

Confirm Preferences consent is enabled, then complete the browser notification and subscription steps.

Compliance Limitation

VideoHub360 centralizes consent choices for supported VideoHub360 features.

It does not guarantee legal compliance and does not automatically block or classify every unrelated third-party plugin, embed, script, pixel, advertising service, or tracking service added to the site.
