Looking for this interface?
Your hosting provider can enable or disable this interface in WHM's Feature Manager interface (WHM >> Home >> Packages >> Feature Manager).
Overview
Use this interface to change your account settings.
Consent and Privacy
This feature lets you opt in or out of Interface Analytics.
You can use the Account Type menu to specify whether your account is for an individual or a business. To change your account type, select an option from the Account Type menu and click Save Changes.
We automatically install the Interface Analytics plugin by default but do not enable it. The server owner and individual users must enable the Interface Analytics plugin before it begins to collect data. Data collection depends on the selections made at the server and account levels as follows:
Server level | Account level | Interface Analytics |
---|---|---|
Yes | Yes | Enabled |
Yes | No | Disabled |
No | Yes | Disabled |
No | No | Disabled |
To enable Interface Analytics, select the Allow Tracking checkbox. To disable Interface Analytics, clear the checkbox. Then, click Save Changes.
