Here's what's new for this Westin update on September 8th, 2020:
NOTE: This release contains changes to the consent manager code base. If possible, please be sure to test these changes in a pre-production environment prior to publishing into production.
New features
- New Consent Manager preview [All Plans]
- The CMP “styling” preview now supports a preview of language translations and popup styling by geographic location.
- Additional switches have been added to “show” or “hide” each Consent Manager component independently in the preview.
- A world map view has been added to aid in visualizing consent styles in different geographies.
- Separation of display preview vs. configuration styling.
- Consent Manager Versioning and Rollback [Enterprise Only].
- Consent Manager configurations are now automatically versioned after each publish.
- Enterprise plan customers now have the ability to rollback their Consent Manager to a previous publication, which will restore all of the settings and behaviors that were published at that point in time. Rollback will revert all settings, styling, script/cookie/iframe rules, and disclosures back to the selected version.
- Note: After rolling back, you may need to refresh to see the changes.
- Note: The rollback process does not impact the logged in Osano user experience.
- iFrame blocking support [Enterprise and Business+]
- The Osano CMP can now identify and classify iFrames in the same way that it does scripts and cookies.
- iFrame support can be enabled separately from the existing cookie and script support and functions exactly the same as the cookie and script categorization features.
- Multiple Sub-Domain Support in Consent Manager settings
- In the Consent Manager “Settings”, users can now add multiple sub-domains to apply to a single consent manager configuration.
- Each sub-domain in a configuration must match the same root domain and a single root domain that applies to all sub-domains is still a valid configuration.
- Cross-domain support will still require the cross-domain feature to be enabled.
- Subdomains can now be edited between CMP saves/publishes.
- Consent Manager Configuration Duplication [All Plans]
- You can now create copies of consent manager configurations.
- Duplicated configurations will copy over the basic settings, script/cookie/iframe rules, and styling to a newly named configuration.
- New domains must be specified before the copy operation will be accepted.
- Note: Sitemap and scan URLs will not be copied to the new configuration.
- IAB TCF 2.0 Support and enhanced screens [Enterprise Only]
- IAB TCF 2.0 Switch added for enterprise accounts.
- New IAB tab that will allow users to add IAB Vendors so that end users have greater control over what IAB vendors can do with their data.
