Clearer Opt-Out Signal Notification when GPC is Not Honored

Provide an improved notification on the Persistent cookie settings hover button to notify end users' Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal was detected but is not being honored when using California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by CPRA) templates.

Accessibility Conformance

  • The OneTrust CMP has been enhanced to allow screen readers to announce the entirety of descriptive content when focus lands on the banner. This enhancement preserves the correct reading order and provides a complete, meaningful announcement (WCAG-A 1.3.1: Info and Relationships).

Things to Know
