Disable or restart the SDK
You can completely stop the Adtrace SDK in certain situations. While stopped, the SDK does not track sessions or events. You can start it again later with restart.
Unlike offline mode, stopping the SDK halts all SDK activity rather than only pausing network sends.
| Stop / restart | Offline mode | |
|---|---|---|
| Tracking | Stops completely | Continues locally |
| Network | Suspended | Suspended |
| Can resume | Yes, with restart() | Yes, with switchBackToOnlineMode() |

note
stop() is reversible with restart(). For permanent user opt-out that notifies the backend, use GDPR forget me instead.
