New CMP functions: Multi-editing and automation for agencies and adnetworks

For companies with many different domains, it can be a challenge to always keep the individual cookie banners up to date to ensure continuous data protection compliance. As part of the current update, consentmanager offers new functionalities in its CMP that will significantly reduce the effort required by users in the future. Gone are the days when each CMP had to be customized individually.
The new functionalities relate to multiple processing options and their automation processes, such as the following:

• Multi-editing option
  • for the assignment of providers to purposes
  • for the legal basis of purposes/providers
  • adding providers to multiple CMPs.
• Automation:
  • Copying certain settings from one CMP to another CMP
  • Ensuring that provider x is present in all CMPs
  • Copying all found domains into a predefined CMP template and many more

In this context, the reporting has also been extended. Whereas you previously had to call up the required report for each CMP individually, the user interface now offers you the option of creating comprehensive reporting views.

Staging Feature: Test your Banner first before you go live

Are you already familiar with the staging function in the consentmanager CMP? With the staging function, you can check the technical integration of your cookie layer script for error-free execution before it actually goes live. After all, who wants to operate on an “open heart”?
Read our latest article to learn how to use the staging function (with examples):

Previously, this function was only included in the Enterprise package. You can simply add this useful feature as an add-on to your existing package. Try it out. You can find our various add-ons in the interface of your CMP.

REMINDER: Changes to the Swiss Data Protection Act come into force on 01.09.2023

Is your company prepared for the changes to the Swiss Data Protection Act? The changes will come into force on 01 September 2023. This means that you may also need to adjust your cookie banner settings. However, all companies that already comply with the GDPR can breathe a sigh of relief, as the Swiss Federal Council emphasizes that companies that already comply with the European General Data Protection Regulations only need to make minor changes.

Here is an overview of the most important changes:

UPDATE: Deadline extension for the use of a Google-certified CMP

Google is extending the transition period for using a Google-certified CMP. Publishers and developers now have until January 16, 2024 to make the necessary changes. This affects all Google partners in the EEA or UK using one or more of the following products: Google AdSense, Google Ad Manager or AdMob. The new requirements include, among other things, that the CMP used must have the Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) integrated. We already reported on this in our June newsletter. If you are affected by this, you are on the safe side with the Consent Manager Platform from consentmanager . Our CMP already meets all of Google’s requirements.
