App crawls now also possible

consentmanager has had a cookie crawler for some time now, which can be used to check one’s own website / webshop for data protection compliance and to uncover weak points in the implementation of the DSGVO when using a cookie banner.
DSGVO compliance is not limited to websites and online shops. Mobile apps or TV devices also process personal data. In order to check the DSGVO compliance of apps, consentmanager now offers the technical possibility to crawl apps.
This means more security for your visitors and customers in the future and makes you more trustworthy as an app provider and ensures more transparency from a data protection perspective.

Announcement: TCF v2.2 support

The IAB will release the Version 2.2 in this month. IAB TCF v2.1 (current version) will officially be deprecated from September 2023. consentmanager will implement the changes that are required for TCF v2.2 by June 2023 (Update 15th of June) giving clients the option to manually switch from TCF v2.1 to v2.2. Clients that did not switch manually by September 2023 will be automatically switched.
We will publish more information on what the difference between the TCF versions are in our next newsletter but for most clients, the changes will be minor and not affect the normal website flow.

That was the OMR23 in Hamburg

Two exciting and action-packed days of OMR23 have come to an end. Our sales team had their hands full trying to cope with the rush of visitors. Not only were cookies eaten, but there was also a lively exchange about cookie banners, data protection & co. at our stand. This shows once again how high the need for knowledge exchange on this topic still is.
In this context, consentmanager would like to thank all visitors, customers and partners for their lively interest and for finding their way to us.
It was an exciting event for us to exhibit with our own stand at #OMR23 for the first time, and not the last time either.
A special thanks also goes to the great team from https://www.leadinfo.com/en/Leadinfo (also part of the team.blue family), with whom we rocked our joint stand. Together it was even more fun!
