Discover a safer way to use external content – learn more about Consent Manager.
Today’s advent surprise introduces the Consent Manager, a powerful tool that helps you protect your learners’ data while keeping your courses interactive and engaging. Under GDPR, users have the right to withhold consent before their personal data is shared with external services — yet many embeds, from videos to maps, send data the moment they load. Consent Manager steps in to ensure that nothing is displayed until the user has explicitly agreed.
With customizable placeholders, flexible policies, and full administrative control, external content such as YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps, Genially, or Canva becomes fully compliant. Different audiences can receive different policies, users can revoke their consent at any time, and public-facing Moodle sites can follow even the strictest interpretations of GDPR without sacrificing learning quality.
Step inside and explore how Consent Manager keeps your platform both interactive and privacy-friendly — one click of consent at a time. 🔐

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), users have the right to withhold consent for their personal data to be shared with external services. In learning platforms like Moodle, external content such as videos (e.g. YouTube, Vimeo), interactive tools (e.g. Genially, Canva), or maps (e.g. Google Maps) are often embedded directly into courses. However, even loading this content can transfer personal data — such as an IP address — to third parties. Consent Manager ensures that such content is only displayed after a user has explicitly granted their consent, giving administrators the tools to handle external content responsibly and in compliance with strict data protection interpretations.
