How to use DoNotTrack in Wistia?

Question

I don't want to track session details in Wistia for my hosted video. I tried to set the doNotTrack: true in the JS code but my user details get tracked at wistia. Here is the piece of code

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function()you {
jQuery("iframe").ready(function(){
window._wq = window._wq || [];
_wq.push({
options : { doNotTrack: true} } );
});  
});
</script>

Can anyone help me with this request?

In response to the question "what is http://src.litix.io" Wistia wrote "If you're looking to disable Mux tracking you can do so by setting window.wistiaDisableMux = true, on the page before any videos get embedded" in this Tweet: https://twitter.com/wistia/status/1064915942084354049 — Mark Gavagan, Mar 21 '19 at 15:05

You can set the default for your account so all viewers have privacy.

Go to https://[your Wistia URL].wistia.com/account/profile then scroll down and activate BOTH "Privacy Mode" and "Anonymize IPs"

Excerpt from Wistia's Player Privacy Mode page (link below):

"Our video player has a special mode called Privacy Mode that only collects fully anonymized viewing data by disabling session and cookie tracking and anonymizing IP addresses. You can change whether this mode is enabled by default for your account in your account settings. This mode makes sure Wistia video viewing is compatible with GDPR regulations."
