New Public Preview Features

New Parameters for Get Preference Center Data API

Updated the Get Preference Center Data API response to include the purposesHeader and vendorsTypeHeader parameters within the general object of the pcUIData object of the response to communicate the localized headings configured for the Purposes and Vendors sections to SDKs. This enhancement allows you to mirror the exact mobile and CTV copy that admins set in OneTrust without hardcoding translations, keeping the on-device preference center consistent with the published experience.

Legitimate Interest Configuration for Reject All for CMP APIs

Leverage the rejectAllButtonBehavior parameter within the appConfig object of the response when calling the following CMP APIs to configure objection to legitimate interest when rejecting all purposes.

This enhancement improves compatibility with Google Limited Ads and feature parity with the CMP platform.

New Parameters to Support Layout Specifications

Updated the Get Preference Center Data API response to include the layout parameter within the general object of the pcUIdata object of the response. This parameter allows you to retrieve information on layout configurations in your CMP. This enhancement also creates parity between the CMP APIs and the admin interface when configuring CMPs for CTV applications.

Updated Vendor Disclosure Parameters

The IABTCF_VendorsDisclosed and IABGPP_TCFEU2_VendorsDisclosed parameters within the storageKeys object of the following API's responses have been renamed to IABTCF_DisclosedVendors and IABGPP_TCFEU2_DisclosedVendors, respectively. These changes were made to accurately reflect IAB specifications. Customers that parse these parameters within the response should update their existing integrations to use the new parameter names.

Enhanced Error Handling for CMP APIs

Updated the following APIs to include the warnings object of the response that contains the code and message parameters. This enhancement adds a warning message in the response when the SDK version does not match the published version and enables the CMP APIs to fall back to the latest published version.

Existing Public Preview Features

Consent Management Platform APIs

The following APIs are now available for use with retrieving interface attributes needed to display the Banner and Preference Center, retrieving a list of active IAB and Google Vendors to display on the Preference Center, and logging consent when an end user interacts with a Banner or Preference Center. These APIs enable you to easily access data for Banner and Preference Center implementations, disclose vendor information to end users, and capture end user consent.

Roku Support for Unified Consent Profile for Known Users

Leverage the new Unified Consent Profile for Known Users functionality to connect data subjects' CMP preferences with Universal Consent & Preference Management profiles by enabling the Create data subject profiles for known users setting on the Geolocation Rules tab. You can also easily trigger integration workflows to send CMP preferences to downstream systems, and efficiently manage your preferences in a unique Preference Center, centralizing all of them in one single profile.

This enhancement provides a comprehensive view of data subjects empowering you with more control over the data captured across both modules, resulting in a more streamlined and tailored user experience.
