Release Details

Platform Application: Privacy Studio 

Release: 2024.11.01

Release Date: Nov 7, 2024

Summary

The following new enhancements and functionality will be deployed on 11.07.2024:

New IAB TCF Stub Dropdown in Location Settings

Benefits

The new IAB TCF Stub feature simplifies the stub management by allowing the system to load the stub from our end. Clients no longer need to add the stub code on their websites. The stub will only load for locations that have IAB enabled. In addition, if clients already have an IAB stub implemented on their sites, the new setting will not override the existing stub code.

Details

The new IAB TCF Stub dropdown menu is added to the Country, US State, and Canada Province table in the Location Settings section, featuring Enable and Disable options. Selecting Enable will serve the IAB TCF stub, while selecting Disable will prevent the stub from being served. The IAB stub is only served if the IAB layout is configured appropriately. Please note that unprovisioned countries are not supported. Unprovisioned states and provinces will default to their country if it is configured. 

Setting Up the Stub

In the Country/State/Province table, when the IAB TCF Stub menu is set to Enable, the following stub script is then added to the client’s site before the notice script:

<script src="https://consent.trustarc.com/iabasset/iabTcfStubV22.js?domain={domain}"></script> 

NOTE: Stub should not be async.


Sample Script

<html>

    <head>

        <script src="https://consent.trustarc.com/iabasset/iabTcfStubV22.js?domain={domain}"></script>

        <script async="async" src="https://consent.trustarc.com/notice?domain={domain}&iab=true&gtm=1"></script>

    </head>

    <body>

        <div id="consent_blackbar"></div>

        <div id="teconsent"></div>

    </body>

</html>

 

New API for Default Category Settings

Benefits

This enhancement introduces the new getDefaultCategories API that fetches default category settings prior to obtaining user consent. This enables users to view category configurations based on their Consent Manager (CM) settings.

Details

The new getDefaultCategories API allows clients to fetch the default category settings configured for a specific country, even before a user provides consent. When default category settings are configured for US States or Canadian provinces, the state or province is also displayed in the API response. 

Sample Call

truste.cma.callApi('getDefaultCategories','<cminstanceid>');

Sample Response

country: "us"

defaultCategory: "Functional Cookies"

state: "az"

 

Individual Rights Manager

Add a Brand When Creating Rules

Benefits

The rule creation process is enhanced to allow users to to apply rules at the brand level. This improves flexibility and specificity in rule management.

Details

A new Brand field is added when creating Rules. The Brand dropdown menu displays a comprehensive list of brands available on the Brands page. The brand selection is optional. Users can select one or more brands when setting up rules, allowing for greater flexibility in rule application. The rule will be applied if it meets the defined logic.

Once a brand is selected in a rule, it cannot be deleted from the Brands page. If a user attempts to delete a brand that is in use within a rule, IRM displays an error toast to inform the user of the association.

New Brand Field in Manual Request Creation

Benefits

This new feature enhances the manual request creation process by adding an option to select a brand. This provides users with the flexibility to associate requests with specific brands, improving organization and tracking capabilities within the system.

Details

A new Brand field is added to the Add Manual Request modal, allowing users to select a brand to associate with their request. The Brand field options in the dropdown menu will be from the Brands page. It is a single select option, which enables users to choose only one brand for each request. This is an optional field and if a user does not select a brand, IRM displays a placeholder text.

Brand Display on Request Details Page

Benefits

This enhancement allows users to view and quickly identify the brand associated with a request on the Request Details page.

Details

IRM now displays the Brand associated with a request in the Basic Details section of the Request Details page. If no brand is associated with the request, IRM displays a placeholder text. 

Automatic Detection and Indicator of Blocked Email Addresses

Benefits

This new feature enhances the handling of blocked email addresses in the IRM system. It automatically identifies and labels blocked email addresses in the IRM system. This new feature allows users to quickly identify and act on requests with blocked email addresses, improving overall efficiency.

Details

IRM now proactively checks both the Primary and Secondary email addresses associated with requests to determine if they are marked as blocked in Amazon Web Services (AWS). If an email address is identified as blocked, IRM automatically adds a tag labeled as “Blocked” in the corresponding request. This allows users to quickly recognize which requests require action.

A new Unblock Email action is also introduced to enable users to unblock the email addresses. Then, the system automatically re-evaluates the status of the email addresses after a user refreshes the request, ensuring that any changes are reflected immediately. 


Trust Center

Benefits

Users can now publish Trust Center content in more languages than before, with 10 language additions. Now reach your global audience with 19 languages in total.

Support for browser language detection

Benefits

Users do not need to configure settings to set their browser to their preferred language when accessing a TrustArc-powered Trust Center.

Details

In this release, when users open a Trust Center that is set without locale (URL without language parameters), it will either: 

  • Automatically detect the browser's preferred language; or

  • Automatically select the first available preferred language in which the Trust Center is available. If the preferred language is unavailable, English is displayed.
