From time to time, we will make updates to the Quantcast Choice code to:
- improve the user experience
- add features requested by customers that are beneficial to the majority of our customers
- fix known issues, and
- adjust to any changes in the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework.
Below are the Release Notes for Quantcast Choice and corresponding live date. For more details on implementing your code, visit our set-up guide.
Active Quantcast Choice Version
V31 (June 17, 2021)
Updates:
Google Additional Vendor List Customization
- Problem/Use case:
Many Choice clients have reported that adding the full Google additional vendor list to the ad request runs risk to overrun the max URL length. This is specifically a problem with AMP powered pages but can also happen on regular web pages. Several clients mentioned that they only need a small subset of the Google vendors present on the list. - Provided solution:
We added customization for the Google additional vendor list to the "Vendors" section. You find it under the tab "Google Vendors". The vendor table allows you to configure which vendors you work with (vendors can be un/selected).
To enable Google additional vendors you need to enable the checkbox in the corresponding section under "add a site" or "add an app" respectively.
Support for CCPA for Mobile Apps
We also added support for CCPA for mobile apps under the "add an app". A new section was added to configured the require properties for CCPA.
