Opt out

Opt a visitor out of Optimizely Performance Edge tracking. For example, you may want to opt visitors out of Optimizely Performance Edge tracking as part of your site's broader opt-out preferences.

📘
Note
On the first page load on which the microsnippet executes, this will only affect tracking (logx), and not experiment activation or evaluation. On subsequent payloads, the user will not get bucketed into any experiments.
If the Dynamic Websites project setting is on, using this API may also affect some experiment activation and evaluation on the first page load.

window.optimizelyEdge.push(optOut);

window.optimizelyEdge.push({
  "type": "optOut",
  "isOptOut": true
});

Verify opt-out mode is working
Setting isOptOut to true creates a cookie called optimizelyOptOut.
To verify it is working, you can:

Check for the existence of the optimizelyOptOut cookie.

Append the optimizely_log=DEBUG query parameter. This prints the Optimizely Performance Edge log which shows if opt-out mode is activated.
