Bug Fixes (June-July 2021)

  • Consent Manager (CMP)
    • Fixed a bug in the Osano CMP API where the 'osano-cm-consent-saved' event was triggering on all subsequent page loads after 'save' event.   
    • Fixed an issue where the Osano CMP could potentially modify the "Type" property of specific tags. 
    • IAB TCF 2.0 Purpose Consent Enhancement: new logic for vendor purpose consent and updated vendor-list file to IAB framework testing.
    • IE11 EventTarget fix for legacy browser support: IE 11 no longer supports EventTarget. A fix has been put in place to utilize Node.prototype when EventTarget.prototype does not exist.
    • Google Pay + Google Pay Store Bug, which interfered with Google Pay capabilities in some situations. This has been addressed.  
    • Maximum Stack Size Exceeded Console Error Fix - Fixed an issue where setting script-src could negatively impact performance in certain scenarios. 
  • B2B Web App (my.osano.com)
    • Fixed an issue where UI fields within the B2B web application (my.osano.com) would occasionally erase or undo previous UI updates. This issue was most evident when making updates to a consent configurations classification UI.
    • Fixed an issue in the B2B web application (my.osano.com) where a user could not update a consent configuration in the web app UI unless they refreshed the page.
    • Fixed an issue where adding custom optional email fields to a DSAR form would block the form from being submitted.
