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.
