Product update: New Accessibility Scanner
Last month we introduced our new Accessibility Widget, and now we’re thrilled to announce that our Accessibility Scanner is here to complete the circle. For issues that the Widget cannot automatically resolve, the Scanner will help you identify areas that you can manually change to improve your site’s accessibility and compliance with WCAG.
The Accessibility Scanner can be found at Menu > Monitoring > Accessibility scanner and is automatically active for every client hat is using the Accessibility-Package.
Visit our dedicated page to start using our tools and make your website more accessible before the June 2025 deadline of the European Accessibility Act: https://www.consentmanager.net/en/accessibility-widget/
Spotlight Feature: Boost your Monetization with Compliance Monitor
The advertising landscape requires constant vigilance, as the risk of any compliance issues found with your vendors can negatively impact your revenue stream. That’s why we created our Compliance Monitor tool. Manage and track whether Consent Mode or standards such as TCF are enabled, ensure vendor compliance with privacy laws, and increase your ad revenue stream through personalized ads. In this article, we’ll discuss the specific actions you can take right from your dashboard.

Spotlight Feature: Machine Learning to Boost Acceptance Rate
This month, we’re shining the spotlight on a powerful feature that’s been with us for a while, but is still a game changer! We were the first to introduce a feature that increases your cookie banner acceptance rate by intelligently rotating designs and A/B testing them to find the best performing one. In average, we’ve been able to optimize cookie banner acceptance rates for our clients by 15%!

Microsoft Consent Mode: Deadline to implement by May 5, 2025
Important deadline approaching: Websites using Microsoft Advertising must enable the corresponding Consent Mode for UET, Clarity, or Xandr May 5, 2025. Update your settings and ensure that your Consent Management Platform (CMP) is properly configured to implement the required consent mode. Additionally, we’re excited to announce that our latest update now supports Xandr Consent Mode—a new toggle is available in Menu > CMPs > Integrations.
Failing to make these changes in time may cause your ad campaigns to stop abruptly. This new requirement applies to campaigns targeting users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland.
